We created man -- We know the promptings of his soul, and are closer to him than his jugular vein -- 16 When the two receivers receive, seated on the right and on the left. 17 Man does not utter any word except that with him is an observer prepared [to record]. 18 And the stupor of death will come in truth; that is what you were trying to escape. 19 And the Horn will be blown. That is the Day of [carrying out] the threat. 20 Each soul will come with a driver and a witness. 21 (He will be told), "You were completely heedless of this day. We have removed the veil from your eyes and your vision will now be sharp and strong". 22 And (unto the evil-doer) his comrade saith: This is that which I have ready (as testimony). 23 (And it is said): Do ye twain hurl to hell each rebel ingrate, 24 who hinders good, exceeds the limits, is immersed in doubts, 25 who has set up another deity beside God: cast him, then, cast him into suffering severe!" 26 ۞ His satanic companion will say, "Our Lord, I did not mislead him, but he himself went astray". 27 He saith: Contend not in My presence, when I had already proffered unto you the warning. 28 My Word is not changed; and never do I inflict the least wrong upon My servants.” 29
