It was We Who created man, and We know what dark suggestions his soul makes to him: for We are nearer to him than (his) jugular vein. 16 [And so,] whenever the two demands [of his nature] come face to face, contending from the right and from the left, 17 Man does not utter any word except that with him is an observer prepared [to record]. 18 Lo, the agony of death has indeed come with the Truth. That is what you had sought to avoid. 19 And the trumpet shall be blown; that is the day of the threatening. 20 Everyone has come, each attended by one who will drive him on, and another who will bear witness. 21 [and will be told:] "Indeed, unmindful hast thou been of this [Day of Judgment]; but now We have lifted from thee thy veil, and sharp is thy sight today!" 22 His companion said: “Here is he who was in my charge.” 23 (And it is said): Do ye twain hurl to hell each rebel ingrate, 24 "Who forbade what was good, transgressed all bounds, cast doubts and suspicions; 25 Who setteth up another god along with Allah. Do ye twain hurl him to the dreadful doom. 26 ۞ His companion will say: O our Lord! caused him not to transgress but he was himself in error far off. 27 He will say, “Do not dispute before Me – I had already warned you of the punishment.” 28 "The Word changes not before Me, and I do not the least injustice to My Servants." 29
