Guarding frontiers for Allah's cause; Striving hard for greater deeds; Being brave and courageous when defending faith; Protecting those weaker than you from harm or danger; Remembering Allah rewards those striving hard with great rewards both here on earth and hereafter in Paradise.

This hadith speaks about the virtue of ribat or guarding the frontiers of Islam. It was narrated from Zurah bin Ma'bad that Abu Salih, who was a freed slave of 'Uthman heard him say that he heard Prophet Muhammad say that ribat for one day in the cause of Allah is better in rank than a thousand days spent within the residence. This hadith teaches us to prioritize our actions and to strive for greater deeds even if it requires us to leave our comfort zone and go out into unknown territories. It also teaches us to be brave and courageous when it comes to defending our faith as well as protecting those who are weaker than us from any harm or danger. We should always remember that Allah rewards those who strive hard in His cause with great rewards both here on earth and hereafter in Paradise.
