The answer

The angels' performance of administrative tasks by Allah's command is a manifestation of His sovereignty, majesty, and perfect mastery. This does not contradict His self-sufficiency and self-subsistence because the angels are subservient to His command; they are created beings, and their actions are created. He is self-sufficient without them, unlike worldly kings who need helpers due to their incapacities, ignorance, or weakness. Rather, He is the Lord and Sovereign of all things, and He is the Most Merciful of those who show mercy. Allah has entrusted angels with various categories of creation to manage them by His permission, will, and command.
