• the ṣiddīqīn (the utterly truthful), those who wage jihad by means of knowledge, reasoned proof, teaching, and sincere counsel;
• and the martyrs who fought in Allah’s cause and were then slain, or who died without being slain.

All of this is a fruit of faith—indeed, it is faith’s very completion and perfection.

In sum, every good in this world and the Hereafter branches out from faith and is contingent upon it, whereas ruin and deficiency come only from the loss or weakening of faith. Allah’s help is sought.
