Definition of Ghzā
Al-ghazw: going out to fight the enemy.
Ghaza yaghzu ghazwan.
The Almighty says: 'Those who believe and emigrated and fought' (Al-Anfal 74).
O you who have believed, do not be like those who disbelieved and said about their brothers when they traveled through the land or went out to fight, "If they had been with us, they would not have died or have been killed," so Allah makes that [misconception] a regret within their hearts. And it is Allah who gives life and causes death, and Allah is Seeing of what you do.
God and His angels shower their blessings on the Prophet. O believers, you should also send your blessings on him, and salute him with a worthy greeting.
