One of the most profound duties of angels lies in the events of the afterlife. From the moment a soul departs until its final destination, angels are present; recording, questioning, and guiding.
In the grave, Munkar and Nakir question the deceased about their faith. On the Day of Judgment, angels will bring forth the records of deeds, and others will greet the believers entering Paradise.
“Those whom the angels take in death while they are good, they say, ‘Peace be upon you; enter Paradise for what you used to do..’” (Quran 16:32)
Their role demonstrates divine justice and mercy; every soul receives what it has earned under the watchful eyes of angels who never err.
