The Judgment
Allah is supreme over everything - Allah's chastisement may come from above or from bellow the feet of men - Mockers of religion to avoided.
(61)وَ هُوَ الْقاهِرُ فَوْقَ عِبادِهِ وَ يُرْسِلُ عَلَيْكُمْ حَفَظَةً حَتَّى إِذا جاءَ أَحَدَكُمُ الْمَوْتُ تَوَفَّتْهُ رُسُلُناو َهُمْ لا يُفَرِّطُونَ
61. " And He is the Omnipotent over His servants, and He sends guardians (to watch) over you until when death comes to one of you, Our messengers take his soul and they never neglect."
Commentary :
Again, in this verse, in order to emphasize on Allah's scientific conversance with the deeds of the servants and that He keeps their account minutely to be dealt with on the Resurrection Day, it says :
" And He is the Omnipotent over His servants, and He sends guardians (to watch) over you ..."
Then the Qur'an goes on stating that keeping this account continues until the ending moments of life, when death approaches you. At this time, the messengers of Allah (the angels), who are missioned to take the souls, take the mortal away.
"... until when death comes to one of you, Our messengers take his soul..."
And, at the end of the verse, it adds that these angels never neglect their duty and no shortcoming nor any defect they perform. They take the soul of a person neither a moment sooner nor a moment later. The holy verse says :
"... and they never neglect. "
