NOW, VERILY, it is We who have created man, and We know what his innermost self whispers within him: for We are closer to him than his neck-vein. 16 When both receivers (the angels) receive, one on his right, the other on his left, 17 He utters not a word, but there is a vigilant watcher at hand. 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 Every soul will be accompanied (by an angel) behind him and another as 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: this is that which with me is ready. 23 [Whereupon God will command:] "Cast, cast into hell every [such] stubborn enemy of the truth, 24 “The one who excessively prevented from virtue, the transgressor, the doubtful.” 25 "Who set up another ilah (god) with Allah, then (both of you) cast him in the severe torment." 26 ۞ His companion said: “I did not incite him to rebel; he was far gone into error of his own accord.” 27 "Do not argue in My presence. I had announced the promise of doom in advance. 28 and My word shall not be changed, nor am I unjust to My servants." 29
