Question

  What do respected scholars of Islam say about the following issue? Are there angels on the shoulders of every human being? I have heard that there are angels on the shoulders of the Muslims only. There is no angel on the shoulders of the non-Muslims

بِسْمِ اللہِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ

اَلْجَوَابُ بِعَوْنِ الْمَلِکِ الْوَھَّابِ اَللّٰھُمَّ ھِدَایَۃَ الْحَقِّ وَالصَّوَابِ

  There are angels with every human being whether he is a Muslim or a non-Muslim. Angels write every deed of his; good and bad both. On the Day of Judgement, the book of deeds of every person will be handed over to him and he will read it. A Muslim will be given his book of deeds in his right hand, whereas a disbeliever in his left one.

وَاللہُ اَعْلَمُ  عَزَّوَجَلَّ  وَرَسُوْلُہ اَعْلَم صَلَّی اللّٰہُ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ وَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّم
