Hi, Pam —
Actually, we are mostly lay people, with a priest as backup.
The Quran sounds very biblical and cites some biblical ideas, but it doesn't actually quote from the Bible very often.
None of these are quotes, strictly speaking, from the Bible, although the verse about the trumpet has a close parallel: 1 Thessalonians 4:16:
"For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first."
1 Thessalonians 4:16
There is absolutely nothing about two angels accompanying us recording our deeds, although there are verses about our guardian angels: (Psalm 91:11, Acts 12:15, Matthew 18:10).
