For him, for man, are attendants, angels who follow him, to his front and to his rear, guarding him through Allah’s command, that is, by His command, from [the danger of] the jinn and others. Indeed Allahu ta’ālā does not alter the state of a people - He does not deprive them of His grace - unless they have altered the state of their souls, from [their] comely nature, through an act of disobedience. And if Allahu ta’ālā wills misfortune, chastisement, for a people there is none that can repel it, either from among the attendant angels or others; and they, for whom Allahu ta’ālā wills misfortune, have no protector (min wālin: min is extra) to avert it from them, apart from Him, that is, other than Allahu ta’ālā.
