We created man -- We know the promptings of his soul, and are closer to him than his jugular vein -- 16 When the two (angels) who keep the account, one sitting on the right, one on the left, take it down, 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: "This is what you have been avoiding!" 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 (It will be said): 'Of this you have been heedless. Therefore, we have now removed your covering. Today your sight is sharp' 22 And his companion will say: 'This is that which I have present' 23 Do cast into hell every ungrateful, rebellious one, 24 [every] withholder of good [and] sinful aggressor [and] fomentor of distrust [between man and man - everyone] 25 who set up with God another god; therefore, you twain, cast him into the terrible chastisement.' 26 ۞ His companion will say: "O Lord, I did not lead him to wickedness, but he was himself far astray." 27 He will say: "Dispute not with each other in My Presence: I had already in advance sent you Warning. 28 The Word cannot be changed with Me; I do not wrong My worshipers' 29
