From Allah we came and to Him we shall return.
“Every soul shall have taste of death; In the end to us shall ye be brought back.”(Surah Al-’Ankabut The Spider 29:57)
“Have you not seen thsoe who being in thousands, left their homes to escape death? So, to them Allah 
said, “Be dead.” Then he raised them alive. Surely, Allah is all-gracious to people, but most of the people are not grateful. And fight in the way of Allah , and know that Allah is All-Hearing, All-Knowing.”
(Surah Al-Baqarah 243-244)
Commentary
“In a uniquely eloquent manner, the two verses (243, 244) appearing above and verse 245 which follows, present guidance that prompts the sacrifice of one’s life and possessions in the way of Allah Almighty. Consequently, before stating related injunctions, an important event of history has been taken up which makes it clear that death and life are subservient to the destiny determined by Allah . Going into a battle in jihad is not the cause of death, and running away from it, out of cowardice, is not the means to avoid death.”
