The Angel of Death and The Questioning of The Two Angels - Sheikh Bilal Homaysi HD

Ayah 11 of Suratus-Sajdah means: [Say, the Angel of Death who is given charge of you shall end your life (by taking your souls), then, to your Lord you shall return]. By consensus of the Ummah, the Angel of Death is our Master ^Azra’il, peace be upon him. He is an honoured angel as are the rest of Allah’s angels. ^Azra’il is assigned to the task of taking the souls. If the soul taken is that of a Muslim, then it will be placed in the care of the Angels of Mercy and will be given the good tidings of having the Reward, Mercy and Acceptance of Allah. However, if the soul taken is that of a blasphemer, then it will be given to the Angels of Torture and will be given the news of receiving Allah’s Punishment.
