Example sentence

العاشر أنه سبحانه نبه بقوله ﴿إِنْ كُلُّ نَفْسٍ لَمَّا عَلَيْهَا حَافِظٌ﴾ على أنه قد وكل عليه من يحفظ عليه عمله ويحصيه فلا يضيع منه شيء

The tenth point is that He, glorified be He, emphasized by saying, ‘Indeed, every soul will have a guardian over it,’ indicating that He has appointed someone to safeguard and account for its deeds, and nothing will be lost from them.

حَافِظٌ a guardian

This noun lacks 'the' and ends in the indefinite mark, so it means 'a guardian', and it is the delayed subject of the clause. Arabic can place the subject after its prepositional predicate like this, so the watcher arrives last though it is the doer.
