Divine Guardianship –
Initially, the Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, was guarded by his Companions, may Allah be pleased with them, especially at night, as they feared a surprise attack from their enemies. Thereafter, Allah, the Exalted, revealed the following words in chapter 5 Al Ma’idah, verse 67:
“…And Allāh will protect you from the people…”
After this, the Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, commanded his Companions, may Allah be pleased with them, not to guard him, as Allah, the Exalted, was guarding him. This has been discussed in a Hadith found in Jami At Tirmidhi, Number 3046.
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 attribute 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…”
It is important to note that the protection of Allah, the Exalted, is not according to the desires of people. It is instead according to the infinite knowledge and wisdom of Allah, the Exalted. Therefore, it occurs at the best time and in a way which is best for the people involved. Therefore, one must continue to obey Allah, the Exalted, even if they do not recognize His protection. Chapter 2 Al Baqarah, verse 216:
“…But perhaps you hate a thing and it is good for you; and perhaps you love a thing and it is bad for you. And Allah knows, while you know not.”
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 attribute 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]…”
