He is the Supreme over His servants, and He sends over you guardians. So that when the time of death comes to one of you, Our messengers take him, and they do not neglect any.
Translation endnotes
[6:61] God uses protectors’/preservers’ powers to download the program/data information containing conscious personalities from human brains and upload them to the master record. These protectors/preservers are mentioned in plural, and thus the verse rejects the traditional belief about Azrail, the so-called sole controller of death.
