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 Behold, two (guardian angels) appointed to learn (his doings) learn (and noted them), one sitting on the right and one on the left. 17 not even a word can he utter but there is a watcher with him, ever-present. 18 And the stupor of death will come in truth: this is that which thou hast been shunning. 19 And the Trumpet shall be blown; that is the Day of the Threat. 20 And every human being will come forward with [his erstwhile] inner urges and [his] conscious mind, 21 (And unto the evil-doer it is said): Thou wast in heedlessness of this. Now We have removed from thee thy covering, and piercing is thy sight this day. 22 And his comrade shall say, 'This is what I have, made ready.' 23 [Whereupon God will command:] "Cast, cast into hell every [such] stubborn enemy of the truth, 24 Forbidder of good, exceeder of limits, doubter, 25 "Who set up another ilah (god) with Allah, then (both of you) cast him in the severe torment." 26 ۞ His companion will say: "O Lord, I did not lead him to wickedness, but he was himself far astray." 27 [And] He will say: "Contend not before Me, [O you sinners,] for I gave you a forewarning [of this Day of Reckoning]. 28 and My word shall not be changed, nor am I unjust to My servants." 29
