الَّذِينَ هُمْ فِي صَلَتِهِمْ خَاشِعُونَ
Aal-e-Imran 3:139
English - Tafsir ibn kathir
وَلَا تَهِنُوا

English - Tafsir ibn kathir
إِن يَمْسَسْكُمْ قَرْحٌ فَقَدْ مَسَّ الْقَوْمَ قَرْحٌ مِّثْلُهُ
If a wound has touched you, be sure a similar wound has touched the others,
Therefore, the Ayah says, if you suffered injuries and some of you were killed, then your enemies also suffered injuries and fatalities.
وَتِلْكَ الايَّامُ نُدَاوِلُهَا بَيْنَ النَّاسِ
And so are the days, that We give to men by turns,
and at times -- out of wisdom -- We allow the enemy to overcome you, although the final good end will be yours.
وَلِيَعْلَمَ اللّهُ الَّذِينَ امَنُواْ
and that Allah may know (test) those who believe,
According to Ibn Abbas,
meaning, "So that We find out who would be patient while fighting the enemies."
وَيَتَّخِذَ مِنكُمْ شُهَدَاء
and that He may take martyrs from among you.
those who would be killed in Allah's cause and gladly offer their lives seeking His pleasure.
وَاللّهُ لَا يُحِبُّ الظَّالِمِينَ

وَلِيُمَحِّصَ اللّهُ الَّذِينَ امَنُواْ
And Allah likes not the wrongdoers. And that Allah may test those who believe,
by forgiving them their sins if they have any. Otherwise, Allah will raise their grades according to the losses they suffered.
Allah's statement,
وَيَمْحَقَ الْكَافِرِينَ
and destroy the disbelievers.
for it is their conduct that if they gain the upper hand, they transgress and commit aggression. However, this conduct only leads to ultimate destruction, extermination, perishing and dying out.
Allah then said,
أَمْ حَسِبْتُمْ أَن تَدْخُلُواْ الْجَنَّةَ وَلَمَّا يَعْلَمِ اللّهُ الَّذِينَ جَاهَدُواْ مِنكُمْ وَيَعْلَمَ Aal-e-Imran 3:140
