As to the obedience: Allah said: "Those who believe say: Why is not a
chapter (of the Qur'an) sent down (for us). But when a decisive chapter
(explaining and ordering things) is sent down and fighting (Jihad) is mentioned
(i.e. ordained) therein, you will see those in whose hearts there is a disease
(of hypocrisy) looking at you with a look of one fainting to death. But their
(i.e. hypocrites) destruction is very near. (47:20). And as to the military
discipline: Allah said: "(Surat-us-saff)" "Rows or ranks,"
"Verily! Allah loves those who fight in His cause in rows (ranks) as if
they were a solid structure." (61:4).
Similarly the Islamic Armed forces are exhorted to swear their allegiance
for; to listen and obey, in hard times and in ease, and in likeness (i.e. to
listen and obey while one is active) and in dislikeness (i.e. to listen and obey
when one is tired). Allah said: "Verily those who are swearing
allegiance to you (O Muhammad) they are (in fact) swearing allegiance to Allah.
(48:10).
Remember when you (Muhammad) said to the believers: Is it not enough for you
that Allah should help you with three (3) thousand angels sent down? Yes If
you keep patient and pious and the enemy comes rushing at you; Your Lord will
help you with five thousand angels having marks (of distinction).
Allah made it not but as a message of good news for you and as an assurance
to your hearts, but there is no victory except from Allah the All-Mighty, the
All-Wise (3:124, 125, 126).
"So do not become weak (against your enemy) and be not sad and you are
superior (in victory) if you are indeed believers. If a wound and killing has
touched you, be sure, a similar wound and killing has touched the others. And so
are the days (of varying fortune). We give to men and men by turns, that Allah
may test those who believe, and that He may take martyrs from among you. And
Allah likes not the wrong-doers. and that Allah may purify the believers and
destroy the disbelievers. Do you think that you will enter Paradise before Allah
tests those of you who fought (in His cause) and (also) tests those who remained
stead-fast? (3:139, 140, 141, 142).
And Allah informed about those who are martyred in His way. They are alive
and that they are with their Lord Allah finding what they wish of provisions and
their faces are delighted with glad tidings. As Allah said: Think not of those
who are killed in the way of Allah as dead. Nay, they are alive, (they are) with
their Lord and they have provision (3:169).
They rejoice in what Allah has bestowed upon them of His bounty, rejoicing
for the sake of those who have not yet joined them, but are left behind (not yet
martyred) that on them no fear shall come, nor shall they grieve. (3:170).
