It was We Who created man, and We know what dark suggestions his soul makes to him: for We are nearer to him than (his) jugular vein. 16 Behold, two (guardian angels) appointed to learn (his doings) learn (and noted them), one sitting on the right and one on the left. 17 He utters not a word but there is by him a watcher at hand. 18 And the stupor of death will bring Truth (before his eyes): "This was the thing which thou wast trying to escape!" 19 And the Horn will be blown. That is the Day of [carrying out] the threat. 20 And there shall come every soul therewith shall be a driver and a witness. 21 [and will be told:] "Indeed, unmindful hast thou been of this [Day of Judgment]; but now We have lifted from thee thy veil, and sharp is thy sight today!" 22 His (angelic) companion will say, "(Lord), the record of his deeds is with me and is all ready". 23 (They will be told,) "Throw into hell every persistent disbelievers, 24 forbidder of good, transgressor and doubter, 25 who has set up another deity beside God: cast him, then, cast him into suffering severe!" 26 ۞ His comrade saith: Our Lord! I did not cause him to rebel, but he was (himself) far gone in error. 27 "Do not argue in My presence. I had announced the promise of doom in advance. 28 The Sentence that comes from Me cannot be changed, and I am not unjust (to the least) to the slaves." 29
