Death in Quran (18) Death = Angels’ duty

The angels who come to take our souls at death are accurate in the performance of their duty. They come neither before nor after their appointed time, nor do they do it in any manner other than that fixed by the Command of Allah and they never neglect their duty and never fail in their duty.

The verse 6:61 of the Noble Quran declares:
Allah is the Irresistible, (watching) from above over his worshippers, and He sets guardians over Humankind.
Allah watches over us and guards us, and provides all kinds of agencies, material, moral, and spiritual, to help our growth and development, keep us from harm, and bring us nearer to our Destiny.
Allah alone holds sway over His servants.”
All power belongs to Him, and all creatures are subject to His power.
In front of Him, they are powerless.
In front of the Almighty, they are no more than submissive slaves are.
This is the truth confirmed by the realities of human life.
Despite all the freedom of action, they are given and the degree of knowledge they are allowed, and the ability instilled in them to fulfil the task assigned to them, their every breath is allowed them in accordance with a specific measure; their every action is subject to Allah’s power.
Such is the basic law of human life, which they cannot violate, although this law may manifest itself each time in accordance with a specific divine will. This even applies to every individual breath or action.
“He sends forth guardians to watch over you.”
The nature of those guardians is they are angels.
Every soul is left until a particular moment, which always remains unknown to it, although it is determined by Allah.
It can be neither advanced nor delayed.
Every soul has an angel close at hand watching over it, counting its every breath, mindful of his task and never neglecting anything.
He is a guardian angel.
At the appointed moment, when the human soul is fully preoccupied with its affairs the guardian completes his task.
We are bound to shiver as we feel that we are totally in the hands of a destiny which remains unknown to us.
We realize that we could meet death at any moment.
At length, when death approaches a human being, Allah’s angels take his soul,
The angels who come to take our souls at death are accurate in the performance of their duty. They come neither before nor after their appointed time, nor do they do it in any manner other than that fixed by the Command of Allah and they never neglect their duty and never fail in their duty.
