Allah, exalted is His remembrance, says: These angels who are in the heavens, and all the living creatures that are upon the earth, fear their Lord who is above them — that He should punish them were they to disobey His command. And they do what they are commanded — He says: And they do what Allah has commanded them, so that they fulfill His rights and avoid His wrath.
