وَلَا تَقُولُوا۟ لِمَن يُقْتَلُ فِى سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ أَمْوَٰتٌۢ ۚ بَلْ أَحْيَآءٌ وَلَـٰكِن لَّا تَشْعُرُونَ

And do not say about those who are killed in the way of Allāh, "They are dead." Rather, they are alive, but you perceive [it] not.

— Saheeh International

Do not say that those who are killed in God’s cause are dead; they are alive, though you do not realize it.

— M. A. S. Abdel Haleem

And say not of those who are killed in the Way of Allâh, "They are dead." Nay, they are living, but you perceive (it) not.

— Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Muhammad Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali
