Ayah 6:60 says:

Allah is seizing your souls during sleep, and He takes your souls away in your sleep and knows that which you commit you earn by day.

Then He raises you up therein, that is, in the daytime, by restoring your souls, so that an appointed term, namely, the term of life, may be accomplished; and afterward to Him is your return, through resurrection. Then He will inform you of what you used to do of good and evil, and so requite you for it.

 

Ayah 6:61 says:

Allah is the Omnipotent, the All-Conquering, Vanquisher, Superior, over His servants.

He sends guardians over you, two angels during the day and two at night; they record your good deeds and your bad deeds over you until, when death comes unto one of you, our messengers, the Angels i.e. the Angel of death and his assistants take away his soul. The Angels of Death do not neglect; they do not fall short of what they have been commanded; they do not delay the time of death of anyone by even a fraction of a second.
