Transliteration:( In kullu nafsil lammaa 'alaihaa haafiz )
4. In that world of souls, the angels had been taking care of us, and in the world, they take care of our life and body from the mother's womb until we reach the grave. They take care of our life, our deeds, and the words that are uttered by the mouth, and after death until the Day of Judgement. Likewise, the Prophets and the Saints are the protectors of our faith and pious deeds. Thus, due to their blessings, the good deeds reach their destination safely, otherwise, on the way these could be snatched away. In short, these angels and favorite servants of Allah Almighty are our protectors. From this, emerge three issues:
1. Even though Allah Almighty has absolute power Who can take care of everyone by Himself, the law is that these duties should be performed by His servants.
2. Allah's attributive names can be given to His servants. Observe, one of the names of Allah Almighty is HAFIZ, yet here the angels are called HAFIZ. Thus, we can say that Allah Almighty صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم and His Beloved Prophet are our protectors and helpers.
3. The Prophets, Saints, and angels are repellers of calamities and removers of difficulties because they are protectors who stop the calamities from coming and ease the difficulties. The state provides its protectors with ammunition. Allah Almighty, too, has - provided His protectors with ammunition. Allah Almighty, too, has provided His protectors with great strength.
