Not equal are those of the believers who sit (at home), except
those who are disabled (by injury or are blind or lame), and those who strive
hard and fight in the Cause of Allâh with their wealth and their lives. Allâh
has preferred in grades those who strive hard and fight with their wealth and
their lives above those who sit (at home). Unto each, Allâh has promised good (Paradise), but Allâh
has preferred those who strive hard and fight, above those who sit (at home) by
a huge reward; (95) Degrees of (higher) grades from Him, and Forgiveness and Mercy.
And Allâh is Ever Oft¬Forgiving, Most Merciful. (96) Verily! As for those
whom the angels take (in death) while they are wronging themselves (as they
stayed among the disbelievers even though emigration was obligatory for them),
they (angels) say (to them): "In what (condition) were you?" They
reply: "We were weak and oppressed on earth." They (angels) say:
"Was not the earth of Allâh spacious enough for you to emigrate
therein?" Such men will find their abode in Hell - What an evil
destination![] (97) Except the weak ones among men, women and children who cannot
devise a plan, nor are they able to direct their way. (98) These are they whom
Allâh is likely to forgive them, and Allâh is Ever Oft-Pardoning,
Oft-Forgiving. (99) He who emigrates (from his home) in the Cause of Allâh, will
find on earth many dwelling places and plenty to live by. And whosoever leaves
his home as an emigrant unto Allâh and His Messenger, and death overtakes him,
his reward is then surely incumbent upon Allâh. And Allâh is Ever
Oft¬Forgiving, Most Merciful. (100) And when you (Muslims) travel in the land,
there is no sin on you if you shorten As-Salât (the prayer) if you fear that
the disbelievers may put you in trial (attack you etc.), verily, the
disbelievers are ever unto you open enemies. (101)
