Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
Benefits and Issues:
➊ All the deeds of the mujahid become a means of nearness to Allah and elevation of ranks for him.
➋ After returning from jihad, the mujahid prepares again for jihad.
➌ He provides further strength and resources, and takes care of his family members.
➍ Therefore, his return is also, like jihad itself, a source of reward and merit.
