Allah states that He brings death to His servants in their sleep at night, for sleep is minor death. Allah said in other Ayat,

{And (remember) when Allah said: "O ‘Isa! I will take you and raise you to Myself..."}, and,

thus mentioning both minor and major death. Allah says,

meaning, He knows the deeds and actions that you perform during the day. This Ayah demonstrates Allah’s perfect knowledge of His creation, by day and night, and in their movements and idleness. Allah said in other Ayat,

{It is the same (to Him) whether any of you conceal his speech or declare it openly, whether he be hid by night or go forth freely by day.}, and

{It is out of His mercy that He made night and day, so that you may rest therein}, by night,

{and that you may seek of His bounty} by day. Allah said,

He will reward you, good for good, and evil for evil. Allah’s statement,

The Qahir means, the one who controls everything, all are subservient to His supreme grace, greatness and majesty,

{and He sends guardians over you,} angels who guard mankind. In another Ayah, Allah said;

{But verily, over you (are appointed angels in charge of mankind) to watch you.}, and,

Allah’s statement,

{until when death approaches one of you...} refers to, when one's life span comes to an end and he is dying,

{Our messengers take his soul ...} meaning, there are angels who are responsible for this job. Ibn ‘Abbas and several others said that the Angel of Death has angels who pull the soul from its body and when it reaches the throat, the Angel of Death captures it. Allah said;

They guard the soul of the dead person and take it to wherever Allah wills, to ‘Illiyyin if he was among the righteous, and to Sijjin if he was among the wicked (disbelievers, sinners, etc.), we seek refuge with Allah from this end. Allah said next,

Imam Ahmad recorded that Abu Hurayrah said that the Prophet said,

... (Arabic text) ...

{Say: "(Yes) verily, those of old, and those of later times. All will surely be gathered together for an appointed meeting of a known Day."} and,

{And We shall gather them all together so as to leave not one of them behind...} until,
