Supplication for the soldiers stationed on the borders

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And as we conclude this meeting, we have valiant soldiers, Honorable Shaykh, on the borders who protect this land, protect the creed of tawhid (the oneness of Allah), and protect this pure land, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. They ask you for a word and a supplication for them, may you be rewarded.

Answer:
Yes, we ask Allah to make them firm, to guide their arrows, and to magnify their reward. They are upon great good; they improve their intentions and rectify their intentions, and they are guarding the land of the Muslims. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
There are two eyes that shall not be touched by the Fire: An eye that wept from the fear of Allahعينان لا تمسهما النار عين بكت من خشية الله
Jami` at-Tirmidhi 1639Hasan (Darussalam)
and an eye that spent the night standing on guard in the cause of Allahوعين باتت تحرس في سبيل الله
Jami` at-Tirmidhi 1639Hasan (Darussalam)
So they are those who are stationed (murabitun) if their intentions are sound, and they have the reward of those who are stationed. It is reported that if one who is stationed dies while on his station, his reward continues to flow until the Day of Resurrection. Yes.
