(2:154) And do not say about those who are killed in the way of Allah, "They are dead." Rather, they are alive, but you perceive [it] not. (2:155) And We will surely test you with something of fear and hunger and a loss of wealth and lives and fruits, but give good tidings to the patient, (2:156) Who, when disaster strikes them, say, "Indeed we belong to Allah, and indeed to Him we will return." (2:157) Those are the ones upon whom are blessings from their Lord and mercy. And it is those who are the [rightly] guided. (2:158) Indeed, as-Safa and al-Marwah are among the symbols of Allah. So whoever makes Hajj to the House or performs `umrah - there is no blame upon him for walking between them. And whoever volunteers good - then indeed, Allah is appreciative and Knowing. (2:159) Indeed, those who conceal what We sent down of clear proofs and guidance after We made it clear for the people in the Scripture - those are cursed by Allah and cursed by those who curse, (2:160) Except for those who repent and correct themselves and make evident [what they concealed]. Those - I will accept their repentance, and I am the Accepting of repentance, the Merciful.
