Another one of His beautiful Names is the All-Heedful and
All-Protecting (Al-Hafeedh). This encompasses two
matters. First, He is Heedful of all the actions that humans
perform by His Knowledge, recording and ordering His
noble recorders to record all that humans do. Second, He
protects His slaves from all kinds of hardship and evil. More
particular than that is His special protection for those slaves
who guard and enact what He has commanded and protect
themselves for Him in secret by preserving their Faith from
any shortcoming or fault. He protects them and guards
them from any slip or mistake. He protects for them their
religion and worldly life. Allah's Messenger (sallallaahu
`alayhi wa sallam) said:
"Guard Allah('s Commands) and He will guard
and protect you."
[Ahmad, At-Tirmidhi, al-Haakim. Al-Albaani has declared it Sahih in
Sahih al-Jami` as-Sagheer #7957]
That is, guard His Commands by fulfilling them, guard His
prohibitions by avoiding what He has prohibited, guard the
limits He has set by not exceeding them, then Allah will
guard and protect you in your religion and worldly affairs.
