(Explanation that the guardianship belongs to Allah alone, so no one among people is taken as a guardian except Allah, and the ignorance of the mushrik and the one who denies the attributes regarding this) And likewise, all guardianship belongs to Allah, not to any other.

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh :"And likewise, all guardianship belongs to Allah *** Not to any other, whether a jinn or a human"
The guardianship belongs to Allah alone. Allah the Exalted said:
There the authority is [completely] for Allah, the Truth هنالك الولاية لله الحق
[Al-Kahf 18:44]
So no one takes the people as a guardian except their Lord, Mighty and Majestic. No jinn takes them as a guardian, nor a prophet, nor a tree, nor a stone, nor anyone else. The guardianship belongs to Allah alone.
"And Allah, the people of shirk (associating partners with Allah) did not understand this *** And the people of deficiency saw it as a diminishment of Allah"
This means that the people of shirk (associating partners with Allah) did not understand that the guardianship belongs to Allah, and the people of deficiency considered that it is a diminishment of Allah that there is no wali (close friend of Allah) other than Him who intercedes with Him.
