They rejoice in a grace and a bounty from Allah and that Allah will not waste the reward of the believers.

Those who answered (the call of) Allah and the Apostle Muhammad after being wounded, for those of them who did good deeds and refrain from wrong there is great reward. (3:169, 170, 171, 172).

And He (Allah) said: "Those who believe, fight in the cause of Allah and those who disbelieve, fight in the cause of Satan, ever feeble indeed is the plot of Satan. (4:76).

Then fight (O Muhammad) in the cause of Allah, you are not tasked (held responsible) except for yourself, and incite the believers (to fight along with you), it may be that Allah will restrain the evil might of the disbelievers. And Allah is stronger in might and stronger in punishment.

And Jihad is a very wide gate and there is no deed whose reward or blessing is as great as that of it, and for this reason, it is the best thing that one can volunteer for. All the Muslim religious scholars unanimously agree that Jihad is superior to Hajj and 'Umra (Pilgrimage) and also superior to non-obligatory prayers and fasting as mentioned in the Book (Qur'an) and Sunna (Prophet's traditions). It is obvious that the benefits of Jihad for us are in general (from all sides), it (Jihad) includes all kinds of worship both hidden and open, it also includes (a great) love for Allah and it shows one's sincerity to Him and it also shows one's trust in Him, and it indicates the
