And indeed We have created man, and We know what his ownself whispers to him. And We are nearer to him than his jugular vein (by Our Knowledge). 16 (Remember!) that the two receivers (recording angels) receive (each human being after he or she has attained the age of puberty), one sitting on the right and one on the left (to note his or her actions). 17 not even a word can he utter but there is a watcher with him, ever-present. 18 And when the agony of death comes in truth (they will say): 'This is what you have been trying to avoid' 19 And the trumpet will be blown: this is the Day of the Threatening. 20 And every soul shall come, and with it a driver and a witness. 21 (It will be said:) "Thou wast heedless of this; now have We removed thy veil, and sharp is thy sight this Day!" 22 And his companion, [the angel], will say, "This [record] is what is with me, prepared." 23 "Cast each stubborn unbeliever into Hell," (they will be told), 24 who hinders good, exceeds the limits, is immersed in doubts, 25 who has set up another god besides God: cast him into severe punishment" -- 26 ۞ And his comrade shall say, 'Our Lord, I made him not insolent, but he was in far error.' 27 "Do not argue in My presence. I had announced the promise of doom in advance. 28 There is no changing of My word, nor am I unjust to My creatures." 29
