Al-A'raaf (The Heights)

196. “Verily my guardian is Allah Who sent down the Book, and He guards the righteous.”

Following the former verse which, addressing pagans, said they themselves and their idols could not harm the Prophet (S) the least thing, this verse refers to its reason, and says:

“Verily my guardian is Allah Who sent down the Book…”

It is not only the Prophet’s self that He guards but He also supports and guards all the good doers and the righteous, and His grace and favour encompass them. The verse concludes as follows:

“…and He guards the righteous.”
