1843. DEFENDING ONE'S HOMELAND

6561.الإمامُ عليٌّ عليه السلام : اغزُوهُم قَبلَ أنْ يَغزوكُم، فوَاللَّهِ ما غُزِيَ قَومٌ قَطُّ في عُقرِ دارِهِم إلّا ذَلُّوا ، فتَواكَلتُم وتَخاذَلتُم حتّى‏ شُنَّت علَيكُمُ الغاراتُ، ومُلِكَت علَيكُمُ الأوطانُ .1

6561.Imam Ali (AS) said, 'Invade them before they invade you, for by Allah, no sooner are a people invaded in their own homes than they are humiliated. So you were indifferent and treacherous towards each other until invasions were waged upon you, and your homelands were overtaken.' 2
