A Word to the Soldiers Stationed at the Borders

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, we hope that at the conclusion of our meeting with Your Eminence, you will direct a word to our soldiers who are stationed at the borders. We have become accustomed to this platform not forgetting them, for they are in jihad and in standing guard for Allah the Mighty and Majestic at the borders. Please speak a word to them at the end of this episode.

Answer:
We pray for those standing guard at the borders for assistance and success, and that Allah the Exalted and Majestic will help them in this noble work they are engaged in, and that they seek reward from Allah the Glorious and Exalted. They are engaged in a noble work, and regarding standing guard, the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
(Ribat) Guarding the frontier for a day in the cause of Allah is better than the world and what is in it.رباط يوم في سبيل الله خير من الدنيا وما فيها
Jami` at-Tirmidhi 1664Sahih (Darussalam)
.
The one who stands guard in the path of Allah, if he dies while on guard, his standing guard and its reward continue for him until the Day of Resurrection. This is a great favor. Therefore, they should make their intentions sincere, be patient, and seek reward from Allah the Glorious and Exalted. We ask Allah to help them, strengthen them, make their shots accurate, and cause their enemy to be defeated. Yes.
