Indeed, We created the human. We know the whisperings of his soul, and are closer to him than the jugular vein. 16 When the two (angels) who keep the account, one sitting on the right, one on the left, take it down, 17 He uttereth no word but there is with him an observer ready. 18 The palsy of death will surely come. This is what you wished to avert. 19 And the trumpet shall be blown; that is the day of the threatening. 20 And every human being will come forward with [his erstwhile] inner urges and [his] conscious mind, 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 His companion attendant will say, "I have here his record ready." 23 "Cast each stubborn unbeliever into Hell," (they will be told), 24 “The one who excessively prevented from virtue, the transgressor, the doubtful.” 25 “The one who appointed another God along with Allah – so both of you fling him into the severe punishment.” 26 ۞ And his companion shall say: 'Our Lord, I did not make him insolent, he was far astray' 27 [And] He will say: "Contend not before Me, [O you sinners,] for I gave you a forewarning [of this Day of Reckoning]. 28 and My word shall not be changed, nor am I unjust to My servants." 29
