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 the two recording angels are recording, sitting on the right and the left: 17 He does not utter a single word, without a ready recorder seated next to him. 18 And the hardship of death came with the truth; “This is what you were escaping from!” 19 And the trumpet blast will sound: It would be the Day of Doom. 20 Each soul will come with a driver and a witness. 21 You were heedless of this. Now We have removed your veil and so your vision today is sharp. 22 His companion said: “Here is he who was in my charge.” 23 'Cast, you twain, into Gehenna every froward unbeliever, 24 hinderer of good, transgressor, causing others to doubt, 25 Who made [as equal] with Allah another deity; then throw him into the severe punishment." 26 ۞ And his companion shall say: 'Our Lord, I did not make him insolent, he was far astray' 27 He will say: Do not quarrel in My presence, and indeed I gave you the threatening beforehand: 28 The Word is not changed with Me; I wrong not My servants.' 29
