Is it possible to renew the intention of counting the period of military service as jihad and ribat (guarding the frontiers) for the sake of Allah after its completion, and will Allah accept this belated intention to be placed on the scale of good deeds?
An act that does not inherently appear as an act of devotion will not be rewarded unless there is an intention of drawing closer (to Allah) present at its beginning or immediately preceding it. The intention cannot be rectified after its time has passed. However, it is hoped that one who missed acquiring the intention will be rewarded for correcting it.
