Angels seeing what we do
Question
“Watching (raqeeb) and ready to record (‘ateed) are two characteristics of the angels who are appointed to record everything that the son of Adam does, good and evil. They are characteristics that apply to each of the two recording angels. The angel on the right is watching and ready to record, and the angel on the left is watching and ready to record.”
What is meant by “watching”, does it mean that they see all that we do?
Answer
The Quraan Shareef says: "كِرَامًا كَاتِبِينَ يَعْلَمُونَ مَا تَفْعَلُونَ" - that they know what you do.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
