And indeed We have created man and We know what his soul instils in him; and We are nearer to him than the hearts artery. 16 [And so,] whenever the two demands [of his nature] come face to face, contending from the right and from the left, 17 not a word he utters, but by him is an observer ready. 18 And the stupor of death will bring Truth (before his eyes): "This was the thing which thou wast trying to escape!" 19 And the Trumpet shall be blown: that will be the Day whereof Warning (had been given). 20 And every soul will come, with it a driver and a witness. 21 (It will be said to the sinners): "Indeed you were heedless of this, now We have removed your covering, and sharp is your sight this Day!" 22 And his Companion will say: "Here is (his Record) ready with me!" 23 Do cast into hell every ungrateful, rebellious one, 24 who hinders good, exceeds the limits, is immersed in doubts, 25 Who sets up another god with Allah, so do cast him into severe chastisement. 26 ۞ His companion will say: Our Lord! I did not lead him into inordinacy but he himself was in a great error. 27 [And] He will say: "Contend not before Me, [O you sinners,] for I gave you a forewarning [of this Day of Reckoning]. 28 "The Word changes not before Me, and I do not the least injustice to My Servants." 29
