And assuredly We have created man and We know whatsoever his soul whispereth unto him, and We are nigher unto 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 utter but there is a sentinel by him, ready (to note it). 18 And the hardship of death came with the truth; “This is what you were escaping from!” 19 And then the Trumpet was blown. This is the day of the promised chastisement. 20 And every soul cometh, along with it a driver and a witness. 21 (And the driver will say:) "You were oblivious of this, so we have removed the veil, and how keen is your sight today!" 22 And his companion will say: this is that which with me is ready. 23 [Whereupon God will command:] "Cast, cast into hell every [such] stubborn enemy of the truth, 24 Hinderer of good, transgressor, doubter, 25 "Who set up another ilah (god) with Allah, then (both of you) cast him in the severe torment." 26 ۞ His companion said: “I did not incite him to rebel; he was far gone into error of his own accord.” 27 [And] He will say: "Contend not before Me, [O you sinners,] for I gave you a forewarning [of this Day of Reckoning]. 28 "The Word changes not before Me, and I do not the least injustice to My Servants." 29
