In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Peace be upon you,

[Quran 4:132] To GOD belongs everything in the heavens and the earth, and GOD is the only Protector.

[Quran 13:11] Shifts (of angels) take turns, staying with each one of you―they are in front of you and behind you. They stay with you, and guard you in accordance with GOD's commands. Thus, GOD does not change the condition of any people unless they themselves make the decision to change. If GOD wills any hardship for any people, no force can stop it. For they have none beside Him as Lord and Master.


We humans are in need of protection at the physical, emotional and spiritual levels. Sometimes there may be other entities including Satan who want to harm us, or there may be danger or situations we are unaware of, or we may even need protection from our own choices.

God is the Best Protector (Quran 3:173-4, 12:64). He appoints angels to guard us (Quran 6:61, 13:11). Every atom is in God's control. To be deserving of God's perfect security all we need to do is truly devote ourselves to Him alone and lead a righteous life (Quran 6:82, 24:55)!
