And those are the righteous who meet their death by the hands of our angels.
And those are the righteous who meet their death by the hands of our angels. And also those who are killed by the angels are those who have indulged themselves in inappropriate matters. Thus, Allah -azwj is so Elevated and Great that it is inappropriate that He -azwj would Himself perform such tasks, therefore He -azwj refers those tasks to Himself -azwj which are conducted by His angels and His Prophets -as , on His -azwj behalf as they act purely on His -azwj instructions.
Thus Allah -azwj has decided to create, among His creations some angels -as and messengers -as , and for whom Allah -azwj Says: Thus a devotee’s soul will be taken away by the kind angels whereas a sinner’s soul is removed by the angels of wrath. [52] Both angels of Blessings and Wrath are helpers of ‘Malakul Moat’ (The angel of death). They just carry out Allah -azwj ’s Commands, thus their actions are referred to His -azwj actions.
As other angels’ actions are the actions of Angel of death, similarly, the work of Angel of death is the work of Allah -azwj because it is Him -azwj who chooses the means to bring death onto someone, or to stop it or to extend life or/and gives the rewards or the punishment. Indeed, the tasks of His -azwj trustees are His -azwj tasks. As Allah -azwj Says: You would never desire for until and unless Allah wants it , [53] And Says: Who carried out ‘Amal-ul-Salay’ [54] is a Momin [55] .
Thus, do not be disobedient in the striving of the good deeds. And also Says: ‘He who repented, accepted ‘Eman’, carried out ‘Amal-e-Salay’ and thus found ‘Guidance’, will be forgiven’. All these cannot be of any benefit until one adheres to the ‘Guidance’ [56] . As it is not true that anyone who claims to be among the believers will get refuge, even if he meets his death in sins.
If this were true, then the Jews, by having faith in God and His Oneness, would be successful in the Hereafter, along with Iblis -la and other non-believers. That is why Allah -azwj Says: Those who embraced ‘Eman’ (belief) and then did not pollute it with ‘Zulm’ (disobedience) will be in peace and these are the guided one. [57] He -azwj also Says about them, ‘And all those who merely claim that we have embraced Eman, in fact their hearts are not with it.
‘Eman’ has various levels, each associated with certain conditions, explanation of which is very lengthy.
