Peace be upon you,

[Quran 79:1] The (angels who) snatch (the souls of the disbelievers) forcibly.
[79:2] And those who gently take (the souls of the believers) joyfully.
[79:3] And those floating everywhere.
[79:4] Eagerly racing with one another—
[79:5] to carry out various commands.

These five verses give us the warning, the good news, and the promise from God all in one little section. We know what we need to do to avoid being snatched and beaten up at the time of death. God willing, we can do it, live every day in worship of God so that at the end we can be gently taken, invited, by the angels to leave this world and return to paradise. And God's promise is we'll have anything we want in Paradise. And what we'll want most is to continue to please God.

May God keep us guided and steadfast on His path so we can join the angels in eternally glorifying and praising our Lord.
