O believers! Seek comfort in patience and prayer. Allah is truly with those who are patient. Never say that those martyred in the cause of Allah are dead—in fact, they are alive! But you do not perceive it. We will certainly test you with a touch of fear and famine and loss of property, life, and crops. Give good news to those who patiently endure— who, when faced with a disaster, say, “Surely to Allah we belong and to Him we will all return.”  They are the ones who will receive Allah’s blessings and mercy. And it is they who are rightly guided.
Quran- Al-Baqara (The Cow) 2:153-157
