NOW, VERILY, it is We who have created man, and We know what his innermost self whispers within him: for We are closer to him than his neck-vein. 16 When the two Receivers receive (him), seated on the right hand and on the left, 17 not even a word can he utter but there is a watcher with him, ever-present. 18 And when the agony of death comes in truth (they will say): 'This is what you have been trying to avoid' 19 And the Horn shall be blown; that is the Day of Threat! 20 Each soul shall come with a driver, and a witness. 21 [It will be said], "You were certainly in unmindfulness of this, and We have removed from you your cover, so your sight, this Day, is sharp." 22 And his Companion will say: "Here is (his Record) ready with me!" 23 (And it is said): Do ye twain hurl to hell each rebel ingrate, 24 "Every obstructor of good, transgressor, and the sceptic, 25 who has set up another god besides God: cast him into severe punishment" -- 26 ۞ His companion will say: "O Lord, I did not lead him to wickedness, but he was himself far astray." 27 "Do not argue in My presence. I had announced the promise of doom in advance. 28 and My word shall not be changed, nor am I unjust to My servants." 29
