He will not let the deeds of those who are killed for His cause come to nothing

�or is it that they have locks on their hearts?He said:God, Exalted is He, created the hearts, and secured them with locks. Then He made the realitiesof faith (ḥaqāʾiq al-īmān) the keys to hearts. With those keys, the only hearts He opened to realisation (taḥqīq) were those of His friends (awliyāʾ), messengers (rusul) Â, and the veracious (ṣiddīqūn). The rest of people leave this world without the locks on their hearts being opened. The renunciants (zuhhād), devout worshippers (ʿubbād), and scholars (ʿulamāʾ) will leave this world with locked hearts because they sought the keys to them with the intellect (ʿaql), and thus strayed from the path. If only they had sought them by having recourse to God-given success (tawfīq) and grace (faḍl), they would have attained them [the keys]. The key is to know that God is taking care of you (qāʾim ʿalayka), and watching over (raqīb) your bodily members, and to know that works are not complete without sincerity (ikhlāṣ) accompanied by heedfulness (murāqāba) [of God].His words:

though now you are called upon to give [a little] for the sake of God, some of you are grudging. Whoever is grudging is so only towards himself: God is the source of wealth and you are the needy ones. He will substitute other people for you if you turn away, and they will not be like you
Sahl al-Tustari

�God is the Self-Sufficient One, while you are the needy�.Gnosis (maʿrifa) of the secret [divine] mystery (sirr) is [attained] entirely through neediness (faqr), and that is God�s secret (sirr Allāh). The knowledge of [one�s] neediness for God, Exalted is He, is the corrective to the knowledge that [one has] richness (ghinā) through God, Mighty and Majestic is He. But God, Glorified and Exalted is He, knows best.His words, Exalted is He:
