وَنُؤْمِنُ بِمَلَكِ الْمَوْتِ الْمُوَكَّلِ بِقَبْضِ أَرْوَاحِ الْعَالَمِينَ
We believe in the Angel of Death charged with taking the souls of creatures.
Death occurs by Allah’s command, and the Angel of Death is assigned that task. Affirming the angel’s responsibility does not give a creature independent authority apart from Allah.
Other angels are also described as assisting with the taking of souls. Their assigned tasks and the ultimate divine command belong together without contradiction.
