153. O believers! Seek comfort in patience and prayer. God is truly with those who are patient. 154. Never say that those martyred in the cause of God are dead—in fact, they are alive! But you do not perceive it. 155. 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— 156. who say, when struck by a disaster, “Surely to God we belong and to Him we will ˹all˺ return.” 157. They are the ones who will receive God’s blessings and mercy. And it is they who are ˹rightly˺ guided.
