In the Quran
وَلَا تَقُولُوا۟ لِمَن يُقْتَلُ فِى سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ أَمْوَٰتٌۢ ۚ بَلْ أَحْيَآءٌۭ وَلَٰكِن لَّا تَشْعُرُونَ
اور جو لوگ خدا کی راہ میں مارے جائیں ان کی نسبت یہ کہنا کہ وہ مرے ہوئے ہیں (وہ مردہ نہیں) بلکہ زندہ ہیں لیکن تم نہیں جانتے
And call not those who are slain in the way of Allah "dead." Nay, they are living, only ye perceive not.
