The duty of the country's sons in defending it against the aggression of enemies

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The first question, as you know (may Allah preserve you), concerns the aggression of the enemies upon our blessed land, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, including the recent terrorist attack that occurred in the city of Abtir. The question is: What is our role in defending this blessed land? (May Allah preserve you).

Answer:
There is no doubt that you have a great obligation toward your country and your brothers, your community. You must make clear to the people this aggression, and that it is not strange from our enemies, and that they are, as Allah the Exalted said:
for they will not spare you [any] ruin. They wish you would have hardship. Hatred has already appeared from their mouths, and what their breasts conceal is greater.لَا يَأْلُونَكُمْ خَبَالًا وَدُّوا مَا عَنِتُّمْ قَدْ بَدَتِ الْبَغْضَاءُ مِنْ أَفْوَاهِهِمْ وَمَا تُخْفِي صُدُورُهُمْ أَكْبَرُ
[Ali 'Imran 3:118]
.
They are enemies, and what do you expect from an enemy other than harm and treachery? So be on guard against that, and explain to people the enmity of the disbelievers toward the Muslims, and that even if they show us friendship, they are enemies. So let us be on guard against them, let us be on guard against them and their treachery and their stratagems, and let us not be deceived by the friendship they display. Yes, we deal with them if they do not commit aggression or cause harm; we deal with them with justice, we deal with them with justice. We benefit from their information in areas where there is room for it in our lives, we benefit from that, but with awareness of the enemy's treachery, and without feeling safe from them or being negligent of their treachery and stratagems. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
