" so they returned (home) with the favour from allah and (his) grace; no evil touched them,..." 2. for the godly men, the principal is the pleasure of allah. neither martyrdom, nor safety, nor injury, nor welfare is the principal for them. "... and they followed the pleasure of allah ..." 3. the great grace of allah is destined to only the strivers who have participated in the battle. "... and allah is the lord of mighty grace."
