We swear that We have created the human being and We know what his soul whispers to him. We are closer to him than even his jugular vein. 16 Since the two scribes are sitting on each of his shoulders, he does not utter a word which is not recorded immediately by the watchful scribes. 17 He utters not a word but there is by him a watcher at hand. 18 The palsy of death will surely come. This is what you wished to avert. 19 And then the Trumpet was blown. This is the day of the promised chastisement. 20 Each person will arrive attended by an [angel] to drive him on and another to bear 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 Cast ye twain into Hell every person rebellious, contumacious. 24 "Every obstructor of good, transgressor, and the sceptic, 25 Who made [as equal] with Allah another deity; then throw him into the severe punishment." 26 ۞ Man's other self' will say: "O our Sustainer! It was not I that led his conscious mind into evil [nay,] but it had gone far astray [of its own accord]! 27 He will say: "Dispute not with each other in My Presence: I had already in advance sent you Warning. 28 The word will not be changed with Me, and never will I be unjust to the servants." 29
