And We have already created man and know what his soul whispers to him, and 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 He utters not a word but there is by him a watcher at hand. 18 Lo, the agony of death has indeed come with the Truth. That is what you had sought to avoid. 19 And the Trumpet shall be blown; that is the Day of the Threat. 20 And every soul came, along with a herder and a witness. 21 (It will be said:) "Thou wast heedless of this; now have We removed thy veil, and sharp is thy sight this Day!" 22 And his companion, [the angel], will say, "This [record] is what is with me, prepared." 23 [Whereupon God will command:] "Cast, cast into hell every [such] stubborn enemy of the truth, 24 "Who forbade what was good, transgressed all bounds, cast doubts and suspicions; 25 and an idol worshipper. Throw him into severe torment". 26 ۞ and his associate [Satan] will say, "Lord, I did not make him transgress, he had already gone far astray himself." 27 He saith: Contend not in My presence, when I had already proffered unto you the warning. 28 My word shall not be changed, nor am I in the least unjust to the servants. 29
