Guardianship of Allah (SWT) –
Uthman Bin Madh’oon, may Allah be pleased with him, was heavily persecuted when he accepted Islam. He managed to migrate to Ethiopia but later returned when he was incorrectly informed that the situation in Mecca had improved for the Muslims.
In Mecca, some of the Companions, may Allah be pleased with them, were protected from the persecution of the non-Muslims because of their tribal affiliations. Uthman Bin Madh’oon, may Allah be pleased with him, was one of them, who had the protection of one of the leaders of the non-Muslims, Waleed Bin Mughiera. On one occasion, Uthman, may Allah be pleased with him, felt bad that he was being protected by a polytheist while his Muslim brothers and sisters were being persecuted for the sake of Allah, the Exalted. As a result, he publicly absolved the protection Waleed had granted him. Shortly after he got into a fight with a non-Muslim and as a result his eye was injured. Waleed reminded him that this injury would not have occurred if he did not absolve the protection he extended him. Uthman, may Allah be pleased with him, replied confidently that he was pleased to be hurt in the path of Allah, the Exalted, and was now in the protection of the One who is more honorable and powerful than Waleed, meaning, Allah, the Exalted. This has been discussed in Imam Muhammad As Sallaabee’s, The Noble Life of the Prophet (PBUH), Volume 1, Pages 413-415.
Allah, the Exalted, safeguards and preserves the creation and takes care of them with special care. He protects the obedient from the plots and traps of the Devil and He safeguards the disobedient from His immediate punishment in order to give them an opportunity to sincerely repent.
A Muslim should act on this divine name by using the means provided to them by Allah, the Exalted, but always trust in His divine care and choices in every situation and outcome they face even if they do not observe the wisdom behind some choices. This inspires patience and even contentment with the choice of Allah, the Exalted. Chapter 65 At Talaq, verse 3:
“…And whoever relies upon Allah – then He is sufficient for him…”
A Muslim should also understand that they will only be protected from misguidance and punishment by the Guardian namely, Allah, the Exalted. This removes any signs of pride and ensures they seek His protection through sincere obedience to Him. A Muslim must act on this divine name by safeguarding every trust they possess such as their blessings by using them according to the teachings of Islam. They should safeguard their actions and speech from the disobedience of Allah, the Exalted. This will ensure they receive more blessings from Allah, the Exalted. Chapter 14 Ibrahim, verse 7:
“And [remember] when your Lord proclaimed, ‘If you are grateful, I will surely increase you [in favor]…”
