In many religious and spiritual traditions, a guardian angel is considered a celestial spirit whose mission is to watch over a person, guide them, and protect them throughout their life. The belief in guardian angels spans various cultures and religions, including Christianity, Judaism, Islam, and various esoteric philosophies.
In Christianity, guardian angels are seen as messengers of God, sent to offer protection and guidance to believers. The Bible contains several references to angels protecting and guiding people, and Catholic doctrine in particular recognizes each individual as being under the care of a specific angel from birth.
In Judaism, the idea of guardian angels appears in several sacred texts. The Talmud, for example, speaks of angels accompanying people and protecting them from evil, and the Kabbalah deeply explores the roles of angels in the spiritual life of individuals.
In Islam, it is believed that each person has two main angels, known as Kiraman Katibin, who record good and bad deeds. Additionally, each individual is protected by a guardian angel who defends them against jinn and evil forces.
