عن أبي إبراهيم عبدالله بن أم أوفى رضي الله عنهما أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم في بعض أيامه التي لقي فيها العدو, انتظر حتى إذا مالت الشمس(أي عند أذان الظهر) قام فيه فقال: " يا أيها الناس, لا تتمنوا لقاء العدو و اسألوا الله العافية
, فإذا لقيتموهم فاصبروا, و اعلموا أن الجنة تحت ظلال السيوف" ثم قال : اللهم منزل الكتاب, و مجري السحاب, و هازم الأحزاب, اهزمهم و انصرنا عليهم"
, فإذا لقيتموهم فاصبروا, و اعلموا أن الجنة تحت ظلال السيوف" ثم قال : اللهم منزل الكتاب, و مجري السحاب, و هازم الأحزاب, اهزمهم و انصرنا عليهم"

Yes, you are right. An English native speaker might not understand it at the first sight; so I suggest that you translate it this way and then add a footnote or some more explanation between brackets explaining it. It means "(الجنة تحت ظلال السيوف) يعني أنه عمل يتوصل به إلى الجنة" "source:http://www.almosleh.com/almosleh/article_1390.shtml)
So I would suggest to do it this way"
Paradise is under the shades of swords (i.e. using swords can be a way to attain Paradise).
I hope this helps.

Note from asker:
| Thank you for your fast answer,but Do you think when you translate this meaning to a foreigner, will he understand what you mean by this expression? I think this is an idimatic expressio, so it has another idiomatic meaning and not a literal one, What do you think? |
| Thank you very much again for you for you reply and your explanation,because this will help me in my thesis :-) |
