"The fighting", even though by its
nature is disliked by the human soul because of the liability, of
being killed, or being taken as a captive, or being injured, with the
wasting of the wealth, the damaging of the industries, the destruction
of the country, the spreading of fear and awe in the souls and the
(possibility) of being exiled from one's homeland, Allâh had made
ready an immensely good reward that cannot be imagined by a human
soul.
'Ikrimah (a religious scholar) said:
At first Muslims disliked it (Jihâd),
but later they loved it and said: "We listen and obey." And that is
because the submission to the order to fight means hardship, but if
the reward is made known it becomes to compare the hardship involved
and its reward.
