The Meaning of the Saying of Allah the Exalted: “Indeed, every soul has over it a guardian.”

The Shaykh : Yes, Every soul has a guardian from Allah. Allah, Mighty and Majestic, said: . And He, the Exalted, said: . The scholars said: Look at the favor of Allah, look at the blessings of Allah; He preserves man whether he is alive or dead. When does He send guardians over you? In life and after death, the noble angelic messengers take his soul. And they do not neglect this soul which they take. Rather, they preserve it with the most complete preservation. So man is preserved whether he is alive or dead. . And among the guardians are the noble scribes, as in Surat al-Infitar: . These guardian scribes preserve everything that issues from man, whether it be speech or action. Allah, the Exalted, said: , meaning that there is a scribe on the right and a scribe on the left: . Whatever word you utter, there is a vigilant, present watcher over you. A vigilant watcher who is present. Al-Raqib is the watcher, and al-'Atid is the one who is present and constant. How many words have you spoken? Answer. How many words have you spoken? They cannot be counted. Man cannot count what he has spoken. Every word is written, every word. And when will we see what has been written? Allah, the Exalted, said, Allah, the Exalted, said: Man will see it on the Day of Resurrection, complete, whatever the word may have been.
