Advice to the stationed soldiers and the maintenance of security

Question:
It is our custom, Your Eminence, on this program and this blessed platform from which we draw guidance, advice, and direction from our honorable scholars, to address our valiant soldiers who maintain security at home and abroad. They have blessed efforts in preserving this country, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the land of tawhid (the oneness of Allah). So what is the Shaykh’s advice to them? And what is the word you direct to these soldiers? May you be rewarded.

Answer:
Yes, the Muslim soldiers maintain security by the protection of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He), both inside and outside. So they must rectify their intentions and seek the reward from Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He), and they have a great reward in that, as the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: . They are engaged in the interests of the Muslims, preserving their security by the protection of Allah (Mighty and Majestic), and they stay awake, toil, and expose themselves to danger. So they are in a good state, if Allah wills. We ask Allah for their steadfastness and great reward, and we ask Allah to help them and guide their steps. And may Allah send prayers and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad.
