Indeed, We created the human. We know the whisperings of his soul, and are closer to him than the jugular vein. 16 When both receivers (the angels) receive, one on his right, the other on his left, 17 Not a word does he (or she) utter, but there is a watcher by him ready (to record it). 18 And death's agony comes in truth; that is what thou wast shunning! 19 The trumpet will be sounded. This is the Day [you were] warned of. 20 And there will come forth every soul: with each will be an (angel) to drive, and an (angel) 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 one part of him will say: "This it is that has been ever-present with me!" 23 Do cast into hell every ungrateful, rebellious one, 24 "Every obstructor of good, transgressor, and the sceptic, 25 "Who set up another ilah (god) with Allah, then (both of you) cast him in the severe torment." 26 ۞ His accompanying devil said, “Our Lord! I did not cause him to rebel, but he himself was in extreme error.” 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
