Angels working under Hazrat Israeel عليه السلام
Question
In Taleemul Haqq it is mentioned that Hazrat Israeel عليه السلام has other angels working under him, some taking the lives of good people and others taking the lives of bad people. Is this authentic? And does this mean that there is more than one angel who takes away life?
Answer
Yes. The malaaikah take away the lives of all people, pious and impious. However, the mumin's life is taken with grace and blessings and the disbeliever's life is taken with curse and misery.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
