6. On the Day when the quaking one (the earth) will quake [6],
[6] After mentioning these five types of angels and their tasks, Allah Almighty established a proof upon the disbelievers of Makkah regarding the establishment of the Day of Resurrection: that the angels who extract your souls from every vein and cause you to face death, and who take your soul into their possession, can at any time return this soul into your body as well. It should be noted that the disbelievers of Makkah acknowledged the existence of angels and their deeds. Their fundamental error was that they considered the angels to be the daughters of Allah. Therefore, they also considered them partners with Allah in the management of the affairs of the universe, although they still regarded Allah as the ultimate authority. Whereas the reality is that angels are neither the daughters of Allah nor His partners; rather, they are Allah’s creation and His obedient servants, and they cannot disobey Allah’s command at all. In the management of affairs, they do not have even the slightest authority of their own.
