(The Angel of Death): One of the most powerful, greatest, and
grand angels is Azrail. He is entrusted with taking the souls
of all creatures. Whatever the reason for death, either war, earthquake,
flood, car accident, cancer, heart attack, stroke, or old age,
Azrail takes the souls of everyone who has finished their lives,
finished their sustenance, and completed their predestined breaths.
....Israfil -alaihissalam- :
One of the greatest, strongest, and most sacred angels is Israfil.
His duty is to blow the trumpet twice. He now stands at the base
of the Throne and awaits the Divine Order. The first trumpet blast
will cause an unimaginable crash of the Earth and the skies, the
death of every living creature in the Heavens and the Earth, and
the destruction of all created things. This will occur on the
day that is called Doomsday. The second trumpet blast will cause
the same kind of effect and then a new order will be established
which will make all the creatures gather together on the Day of
Judgment.
....The Angels in the Heaven:
Each of these is very beautiful and bright, and they are guarded
by Ridwan.
....The Angels in Hell: Each
of them is very strong, splendid, and ruthless; and they are guarded
by Malik.
.... In the seven Heavens are angels
who worship Allah Almighty, bowing and prostrating to Him.
....On the Earth are angels who have
been assigned different duties.
