Yes, yes, I’ve heard all that.
Let’s take the angel of death since you brought it up initially. The argument brought forth for this typically is that Allah is actually performing those acts, as you mention.
And yet, there is an angel of death.
An angel of death who reportedly visits us all 5x a day.
This angel is not god.
Allah is there at all times being that he’s omnipresent, so the angel of death is not Allah, but it’s performing the function of Allah, the death of his subject, and with his permission. Even though this angel is clearly less present than Allah, and it would make far more sense for Allah to bypass this angel and do it himself without issuing permissions every infinitesimal part of a second.
The simple question is why is there such a thing as an angel of death?
It’s significant that you said “The angel of death is approaching”. It’s always in terms of the angel of death when we talk about death in Islam.
It’s not that Allah is the one I should fear taking my life, but the angel of death. Allah is to fear on the judgement of my life, but not it’s taking. Why?
Ok so you admit the angel of death is not powerful and needs the permission of Allah yet in the same post you say we should fear Angel of death instead of Allah, rofl. Talk about contradictions
Allah SWT the most glorious God is the Most Wise, he does as he pleases without error.
If we are going to follow the rationale in your question, we might also ask: Why did Allah create the sun, isn’t He the Source of Light and He can directly give us light?
Can’t He do it by Himself?
Or why did Allah create mothers, can’t He directly bring us to life, nurture us and show us love without the presence of mothers?
In reality, Allah doesn’t
need any of His creations; they are only a manifestation of His Brilliant, Awe-Inspiring ability to plan and create.
If you consider a famous artist and ask why is this artist producing these outstanding paintings, can’t he express himself or explain what he wants without creating these amazing paintings?
The answer is, he can, but his creations reflect his great and unique abilities.
To Allah belongs the Highest Most Supreme Example, He doesn’t need the angels, but He has the Power to create incredibly mighty creations; His creations are a manifestation and reflection of His Power, Brilliance, and incomparable Greatness
