Transliteration:( Wan naa shi taati nashta )
"And by those who open knots (take the life of the pious) smoothly."
Swearing by the angels: This verse swears by the angels who are entrusted with taking the souls.
The difference in the manner of death: The souls of the infidels are taken with severity, while the souls of the believers are taken gently.
For the believer, death does not feel as harsh because they are shown the beauteous vision of the Holy Prophet, making the transition smoother, just as the women in Egypt, when seeing Hazrat Yusuf's (On whom be peace) face, did not feel the pain of cutting their fingers.
However, some believers might experience severe pangs of death due to their sins, but this is a purification to save them from the punishment of the Hereafter.
The verse indicates that death for the believer is ultimately a merciful process, even if it appears difficult in some cases.
