We created man -- We know the promptings of his soul, and are closer to him than his jugular vein -- 16 (Remember!) that the two receivers (recording angels) receive (each human being after he or she has attained the age of puberty), one sitting on the right and one on the left (to note his or her actions). 17 Not a word does he utter but there is a sentinel by him, ready (to note it). 18 The trance of death will come revealing the truth: that is what you were trying to escape. 19 And the Trumpet will be blown, that will be the Day whereof warning (had been given) (i.e. the Day of Resurrection). 20 And every soul came, along with a herder and a witness. 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 companion will say: 'This is that which I have present' 23 [Whereupon God will command:] "Cast, cast into hell every [such] stubborn enemy of the truth, 24 who is an opponent of good, a suspicious transgressor 25 Who set up with Allah another god. So cast him ye twain into the torment severe. 26 ۞ His Companion will say: "Our Lord! I did not make him transgress, but he was (himself) far astray." 27 God will say, "Do not quarrel in My presence. I gave you the warning beforehand 28 There is no changing of My word, nor am I unjust to My creatures." 29
