He created man and surely know what misdoubts arise in their hearts; for We are closer to him than his jugular vein. 16 [And so,] whenever the two demands [of his nature] come face to face, contending from the right and from the left, 17 Not a word does he (or she) utter, but there is a watcher by him ready (to record it). 18 And when the agony of death comes in truth (they will say): 'This is what you have been 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 “You were indeed neglectful of this, so We have removed the veil for you, and your eyesight is sharp this day.” 22 And his companion will say: 'This is that which I have present' 23 (And it is said): Do ye twain hurl to hell each rebel ingrate, 24 forbidder of good, transgressor and doubter, 25 who set up with God another god; therefore, you twain, cast him into the terrible chastisement.' 26 ۞ His companion will say: O our Lord! caused him not to transgress but he was himself in error far off. 27 (It was said): “Do not remonstrate in My presence. I had warned you. 28 The Word is not changed with Me; I wrong not My servants.' 29
