The Virtue of the Murabitin on the Borders and Supplication for Them
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Your Eminence the Shaykh, this is a question from one of the staff of the Higher Institute for Judiciary, namely the brother Sa'id Muhammad Sa'id Munashit. He says: Thanks and appreciation to Your Eminence the Shaykh, the owner of the Buzan, may Allah preserve him and grant him success. The question is: The brothers on the borders of our armies who are stationed to defend our religion, our creed, our homeland, our leadership, our scholars, and our society. They are at a great, dangerous, and important frontier and need our supplication for them, and the community needs to be directed to supplicate for them and support them. What is the guidance in this matter from Your Eminence?
The Shaykh:
Yes, these are in a great position. They are stationed on the borders of the Muslims and defend the lands of the Muslims and the Muslims themselves, so they are among the murabitin, if Allah wills. We say that to them. Those about whom Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, said:[Ali 'Imran 3:200] meaning, persist in the murabitah, the persistence in obedience, and among the most important of that is the persistence on the borders of the Muslims. So we hope for them the reward of the murabitin, because if the murabit’s intention is sound, his reward continues for him until the Day of Resurrection. Even if he dies, his reward continues for him; his reward for the murabitah continues for him until the Day of Resurrection. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: and Jami` at-Tirmidhi 1639Hasan (Darussalam). These people receive the reward of the murabitin, and if a murabit dies, his reward continues for him until the Day of Resurrection. Yes.
The questioner:
Supplication for them, Your Eminence the Shaykh.
The Shaykh:
We ask Allah to make our feet firm. Amen. And to make them see clearly. Amen. And to make their shooting and their aim accurate. Amen. And to help them, and to strengthen their hearts. Amen. And to magnify their reward. Amen. And to grant them victory. Amen. Yes.

O you who have believed, persevere and endure and remain stationed
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اصْبِرُوا وَصَابِرُوا وَرَابِطُواupon him
عليهThere 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.
