The Obligations of the Murabitun at the Frontiers and the Obligations of Muslims Toward Them

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The murabitun at the frontiers sacrifice their lives to preserve this great religion and their country, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. What is the obligation of everyone toward them?

Answer:
First, it is obligatory for the murabitun at the frontiers to have sincere intentions and for their purpose to be the protection of the land of the Muslims and the protection of the Muslims from aggression. This is the murabit in the path of Allah the Exalted. It was mentioned in the hadith:
There are two eyes that shall not be touched by the Fire: An eye that wept from the fear of Allah, and an eye that spent the night standing on guard in the cause of Allah.عينان لا تمسهم النار عين باتت تحرس في سبيل الله.
Jami` at-Tirmidhi 1639Hasan (Darussalam)
And an eye that wept out of fear of Allah,وعين بكت من خشية الله،
Al-Mustadrak lil-Hakim 21:51
So they must rectify their intentions. As for what is required of Muslims toward them, it is to supplicate for their steadfastness, to supplicate for the rectification of their intentions, to supplicate for their deceased, to seek mercy for them, to praise them, and to support their descendants if they are in need, and to take responsibility for them. This is the obligation. Yes.
