The Virtue of Supplication for Those Stationed on the Borders

Question:
Your Eminence the Shaykh, we are at the end of this episode, and supplication has an impact on the life of the Muslim, especially our soldiers stationed on the borders. What is the virtue of supplicating for them, may you be rewarded?

Answer:
Yes, one should supplicate for them. A person should first supplicate for himself, then for his parents, then for the Muslims in general, and specifically for the soldiers of Islam and those on the borders. He should supplicate for them with reward, steadfastness, victory, support, protection, and preservation. He should supplicate for them because they are engaged in a great task. I ask Allah to help them. Amen. And to reward them, to protect them, to return them to their families safe and sound, and to ward off from us the schemes of the enemies, the criminals, and the lurkers. Amen, amen. And may Allah send prayers and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his Companions. Thank you.
