Surah Al-Infitar, Ayah 10-12
Reflection
These verses inform humans about the noble angels (Kiraman Katibin) who are appointed to record all human actions. These angels are described as "noble" (kiram), indicating their high status and trustworthy nature. They continuously record everything people do, maintaining a complete account of all deeds. This knowledge should inspire both caution about sinful actions and motivation for good deeds, knowing that everything is being recorded. The verses serve as a reminder of constant divine supervision and the comprehensive nature of the record that will be presented on the Day of Judgment. This teaches accountability consciousness and encourages believers to be mindful of their actions at all times.
