Protecting the geographic borders of\nIslam is as important as guarding the ideological boundaries. Therefore,\nMuslims should use all their strength to protect their geographic borders from\nany possible penetration of outsiders. First and foremost, they should equip\nthe soldiers to the best of their abilities; and then pray for them and ask for\nAllah`s (SWT) assistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Imam Sajjad (PBUH) has remarked the\nimportance of protecting the Muslim`s borders in a supplication of Sahifah\nSajjadiah:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cO Allah, bless\nMuhammad (PBUH&HP) and his household, fortify the frontiers of the Muslims\nthrough Your dignity, support their defenders through Your strength, and grant\nthem with gifts through Your wealth!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Increase their number, hone their\nweapons, guard their territory, and protect their position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Establish unity amongst them, arrange\ntheir affair, send them supplies in a steady manner, and support them through\nyour assistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
O Allah, distract the idolaters, so\nthey cannot get around the borders of the Muslims \u2026 Create division amongst\nthem, so they will not be able to unite against Muslims\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
O Allah, cast ease to the warriors\nfrom the people of your religion or the strugglers from the followers of your\nfaith who are facing wars against them (the Islam\u2019s enemies).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
O Allah, reward the Muslims who attend\nthe household of a warrior protecting the borders, in his absence, with the\nsame reward of the warriors.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
(Selection taken\nfrom the book \u201cMafatih al-Hayat\u201d by Ayatullah Jawadi Amoli with minor changes)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Roshd Website offers condolences\nto all Muslims, especially you dear friend, upon the 25th of Muharram, the\nanniversary of the martyrdom of the master of worshipers and the initiator of\nthe mourning upon the master of martyrs, and the forth leader of Shiites, Imam\nAli ibn Hussain al-Sajjad (PBUH).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
