The angels say to the believers,We are your friends in this world and in the hereafter "

(Muhammad Rafique Etesame, Ahmedpureast)

The holy Quran reveals," Lo! those who say: Our Lord is Allah, and afterward are upright, the angels descend upon them, saying: Fear not nor grieve, but hear good tidings of the paradise which ye are promised. ﴿ We are your protecting friends in the life of the world and in the Hereafter. There ye will have (all) that your souls desire, and there ye will have (all) for which ye pray. ﴿ A gift of welcome from One Forgiving, Merciful. (41:31)

The descent of angels to the believers means that they confessed with their hearts and remained steadfast in it, did not associate anyone with the Lordship and Divinity of Allah, did not deviate from the certainty and confession to the point of miracles, and remained united in belief and action in accordance with what they had said with their tongues, and recognized the complete Lordship of Allah as the truth. When such people are near death and in the grave and then rise from their graves, the angels of Allah descend upon them, who comfort and console them and give them the good news of Paradise. They say, "Now you have no reason to fear or panic. All the worries and sorrows of this mortal world have ended, and there is no longer any fear of any impending calamity. Now all kinds of physical and spiritual happiness and luxury are for you forever. The promises of Paradise that were made through the mouths of the prophets are now to be fulfilled by all of you. This is the wealth that, once it is certain of its receipt, no worry or sorrow will stray from a person."

We pray to Allah Almighty to grant us the strength to remain steadfast and to follow all His commands in accordance with the good example of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) so that we too may receive the good news from the angels that we are your friends,Amin.
