A Word to Those Stationed on the Borders

Question:
Your Eminence, Shaykh Salih, we have soldiers stationed on the borders. They have blessed efforts in defending this country, and truly, their efforts are appreciated, and their deeds, if Allah wills, are in the scale of their good deeds in preserving the security of this country. What does Shaykh Salih wish to say to those who are defending our country in the south and at al-Ribat?

Answer:
We say to you, may Allah preserve you and assist you with His victory and success. You are in a good state, in goodness, and in the best of deeds: standing firm in the path of Allah (Mighty and Majestic), defending the two sacred sanctuaries and the Muslims. You are in the most honored position, and praise be to Allah. Seek reward and recompense from Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). And be glad, and make your brothers glad with the good. And seek reward for this work of yours in the path of Allah (Mighty and Majestic). For Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) has promised those who stand firm in His path the greatest reward and recompense. Yes.
