يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ لَا تَكُونُوا۟ كَٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ وَقَالُوا۟ لِإِخْوَٰنِهِمْ إِذَا ضَرَبُوا۟ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ أَوْ كَانُوا۟ غُزًّۭى لَّوْ كَانُوا۟ عِندَنَا مَا مَاتُوا۟ وَمَا قُتِلُوا۟ لِيَجْعَلَ ٱللَّهُ ذَٰلِكَ حَسْرَةًۭ فِى قُلُوبِهِمْ ۗ وَٱللَّهُ يُحْىِۦ وَيُمِيتُ ۗ وَٱللَّهُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ بَصِيرٌۭ
How to read it
Yā'ayyuhā -lladhīna 'āmanū lā takūnū ka-lladhīna kafarū waqālū li'ikh'wānihim' 'idhā ḍarabū fī l-'ar'ḍi 'aw' kānū ghuzzan llaw' kānū ʻindanā mā mātū wamā qutilū liyaj'ʻala -llahu dhālika ḥas'ratan fī qulūbihim' . wa-llahu yuḥ'yī wayumītu . wa-llahu bimā taʻ'malūna baṣīrun
O ye who believe! Be not like the Unbelievers, who say of their brethren, when they are travelling through the Earth or engaged in fighting: "If they had stayed with us, they would not have died, or been slain." This that Allah may make it a cause of sighs and regrets in their hearts. It is Allah that gives Life and Death, and Allah sees well all that ye do.
Translation: Abdullah Yusuf Ali
