Fatwa CenterSome Disbelievers Die without Showing Signs of Agony and Terror
Question
Salaam alaykom. As we know the angels of wrath and angel of death descend at the moment of death to extract the soul of the disbeliever in torment. Recently though i have seen images of disbelievers smiling at the exact moment of death and still having a smile on their face after death. Isnt the moment of death supposed to be torment for the disbeliever? How can they die while smiling and being calm? Please read Quran, surah 6, ayah 93. This is my final questiob in shaa Allah.
Answer
All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allah, and that Muhammad 
is His slave and Messenger.
Whatever Allah, The Exalted, informed about is undoubtedly true, and it is incumbent on a believer to believe in it and not subject it to such delusions. The fact that some disbelievers do not show the signs you mentioned (at the time of death) does not entail that they would not be tortured and reprimanded by the angels or that they [the angels] would not strike their faces and their backs (as stated in the relevant verse). This belongs to matters of the Unseen, of which we do not have knowledge, and the knowledge of such matters is only established through authentic Divine revelation.
Allah Knows best.
