SURAH AL-E-IMRAN: 144-146

TRANSLATION:

[3:144]
Muhammad is but a messenger, there have been messengers before him. So, if he dies or is killed, would you turn back on your heels? Whoever turns back on his heels can never harm Allah in the least. Allah shall soon reward the grateful.
[3:145]
It is not the choice of a person to die without the will of Allah, death being a time-bound destiny. Whoever seeks a reward in this world, We shall give him out of it, and whoever seeks a reward in the Hereafter, We shall give him out of it. {48} We shall soon reward the grateful.
[3:146]
There have been many prophets with whom many men of Allah have fought; they did not lose heart for what they suffered in the way of Allah, nor did they become weak, nor did they yield. Allah loves the steadfast. 

INTERPRETATION:

{48} This is a reference to the spoils of war. It means that if a person wants to participate in Jihad solely to earn the spoils of war, then he will get the spoils of war but will not get any rewards in the Aakhirah (Hereafter). On the other hand, if he joins Jihad to obey Allah Ta’alah then he will earn both the rewards in the Hereafter as well as the spoils of war.
