We created man -- We know the promptings of his soul, and are closer to him than his jugular vein -- 16 When the two angels meet together, sitting one on the right, and one on the left, 17 whatever phrase he utters, an observer is present. 18 And the intoxication of death will bring the truth; that is what you were trying to avoid. 19 The trumpet will certainly be sounded. This will be the day (about which you) were threatened. 20 And every human being will come forward with [his erstwhile] inner urges and [his] conscious mind, 21 (It will be said:) "Thou wast heedless of this; now have We removed thy veil, and sharp is thy sight this Day!" 22 His companion attendant will say, "I have here his record ready." 23 [Whereupon God will command:] "Cast, cast into hell every [such] stubborn enemy of the truth, 24 "Who forbade what was good, transgressed all bounds, cast doubts and suspicions; 25 "Who set up another god beside Allah: Throw him into a severe penalty." 26 ۞ Man's other self' will say: "O our Sustainer! It was not I that led his conscious mind into evil [nay,] but it had gone far astray [of its own accord]! 27 He shall say, 'Dispute not before Me! For I sent you beforehand -- the threat. 28 The Word is not changed with Me; I wrong not My servants.' 29
