well, asaman in verse:
لا يعصون الله ما أمرهم ويفعلون ما يؤمرون
"... not disobeying Allah against what He commanded them and always doing what He commanded." (Surat at-Tahrim: 6)
They are senior to humans who are tasked with an almost nonexistent level of excitement, except for the Harut-Marut story. Among the 10 angels that must be known by Muslims is the Angel of Azrael. He is an angel with the task of taking life force; not delayed-retreat and not advance. Everything is in accordance with a certain time and place, and only to Allah, the Almighty God we all return.
About the Angel of Izrail in the book of Hikaya Shufiyah is told, one time the Angel of Azraq alaihissalam was asked:
هل ضحكت قط?
"Do you laugh too?"
قال: نعم, ضحكت مرة, وبكيت مرة
"Yes, I laughed once, and cried once. First, I laughed at the man who had bargained for shoes that would not break until five years, while I took his life while he was in transactions. Hehehe, "laughed the Angel.
Second, I was sad when there was a woman who had two orphans who were still cute. The woman crossed her son's river one by one. The first child had the woman lowered by the river, while while trying to take his second child, the power of God, suddenly dragging water drowned the mother of two orphans and died. The incident was touched me, because there were two orphaned children separated by circumstances, while his mother had left them.
Until finally, Allah revealed to a future for both of them, that the first child would be the King of the East, and the other would be the King of the West. And Allah, Glory be to Him, He is the administrator of all things, there is no god but Him. "
This saga implies a message, among other things, about the limited time of human being in enjoying the treasures of the world. Humans may have long desires and wishes about the future of pleasure. But it must be noted that God has his own destiny with regard to the limits of human life in this mortal world.
Death can happen anytime, either in moments of joy or sorrow. At times "fair" or unexpected and not expected at all. This fate can not be immediately judged as absolute ugliness. Because behind him there is another destiny that His servant does not know.
