Nāzi'āt (Arabic: نازعات, pluckers) and Nāshiṭāt (Arabic: ناشطات, drawers) are two classes of death angels subordinate to Azra'il in Islam, responsible for taking the souls of the dead. While Nāzi'āt are commissioned to take the lives of unbelievers forcefully, the Nāshiṭāt take believers gently.[1]
