Unseen Security

Qur'aanic Verse 86:4:

Transliteration:

4. In kullu nafsin lamma AAalayha hafithun

Translation:

4. Not a soul but has a protector over it.¹

^{Study Note:}

1. Were it not for the divine protection over him every second of his life, man would be dead in no time! Allah Almighty has granted him a fixed tenure of life on this earth, and He provides him unseen security to make him live the complete term. Without that security – and left to fend for himself – he would foolishly entangle himself in situations that could prevent him from proceeding an inch in his span of life.
