Muslims living in non-Muslim countries..?

Masruuq (RA) said: “We asked ‘Abdullah Ibn Mas’ood about this verse: “And do not regard those who have been killed in the cause of Allah as dead, rather, they are alive with their Lord and being provided for.” (Surah Ali Imraan 3:169) He said, ‘We asked about that and the Prophet (SAW) said, “Their souls are in the insides of green birds, having lanterns suspended from the Throne, roaming freely in Paradise where they please, then taking shelter in those lanterns. Their Lord cast a glance at them and said, ‘Do you wish for anything?’ They said, ‘What shall we wish for when we roam freely in Paradise where we please?’ And He did that with them three times- when they saw that they would not be spared from being asked again, they said, ‘Oh Lord! We would like for You to put our souls back into our bodies so that we might fight for Your sake once again.’ When Allah saw that they were not in need of anything, they were let be.’ (Muslim, At-Tirmidhi, an-Nasaaa’I and Ibn Majah).
