﴿ فَٱلسَّٰبِقَٰتِ سَبْقًۭا ﴾
“and yet overtake [one another] with swift overtaking:”
The fourth quality of the angels: فَالسَّابِقَاتِ سَبْقًا (then proceed forward quickly...79:4). According to Divine instruction, the angels do not delay in transporting the souls of people to their good or their bad abodes. The soul of a believer is transported to the atmosphere and blessings of Paradise, and that of an unbeliever to the atmosphere and torment of Hell.
