The Virtue of the Murabitun on the Borders

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
If, Honorable Shaykh, these blessed efforts made by the security forces in our blessed land are worth mentioning and thanking for, perhaps you could make du'a for them and speak about these efforts?

Answer:
Likewise, those who stand guard on the borders to defend this land, who stay awake and expose themselves to danger, we hope they are among the murabitun in the path of Allah, about whom the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
God’s Messenger as saying, “Being stationed on the frontier in God’s path for a day is better than the world andصلى الله عليه وسلم رباط يوم في سبيل الله خير من الدنيا وما
Mishkat al-Masabih 3791
therein.
And he (peace and blessings be upon him) informed that if a murabit dies while on his post, his reward continues to flow to him until the Day of Resurrection. This is a great virtue, and praise be to Allah. We consider our soldiers to be so, if Allah wills, for they sacrifice their comfort and also expose themselves to risks, all in the path of preserving this land.
Likewise, one of the reasons for security and stability in this land is that it welcomes the delegations of the Merciful for Hajj and 'Umrah, and it provides them with ease and assistance, and ensures their comfort in performing their rituals until they return to their countries safe and secure. This is what Allah uses to ward off many evils from this land, and what Allah counts, if Allah wills, as a store and righteous deed for the rulers of this land. Yes.
