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 and the two recording angels are recording, sitting on the right and the left: 17 Not a word does he (or she) utter, but there is a watcher by him ready (to record it). 18 And the hardship of death came with the truth; “This is what you were escaping from!” 19 The trumpet will be sounded. This is the Day [you were] warned of. 20 And every soul came, along with a herder and a witness. 21 'Thou wast heedless of this; therefore We have now removed from thee thy covering, and so thy sight today is piercing.' 22 And one part of him will say: "This it is that has been ever-present with me!" 23 "Cast each stubborn unbeliever into Hell," (they will be told), 24 [every] withholder of good [and] sinful aggressor [and] fomentor of distrust [between man and man - everyone] 25 Who sets up another god with Allah, so do cast him into severe chastisement. 26 ۞ And his comrade shall say, 'Our Lord, I made him not insolent, but he was in far error.' 27 The Lord will say, "Do not argue in My presence; I had certainly sent you a warning. 28 The word will not be changed with Me, and never will I be unjust to the servants." 29
