We indeed created man; and We know what his soul whispers within him, and We are nearer to him than the jugular vein. 16 When the two (angels) who keep the account, one sitting on the right, one on the left, take it down, 17 not even a word can he utter but there is a watcher with him, ever-present. 18 And the hardship of death came with the truth; “This is what you were escaping from!” 19 And the Trumpet was blown; “This is the Day of the promised punishment.” 20 And there will come forth every soul: with each will be an (angel) to drive, and an (angel) to bear 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 companions shall say: This is what is ready with me. 23 [Whereupon God will command:] "Cast, cast into hell every [such] stubborn enemy of the truth, 24 every hinderer of the good, transgressor, disquieter, 25 who has set up with Allah another god. Indeed, you two, cast him into the terrible punishment' 26 ۞ His companion said: “I did not incite him to rebel; he was far gone into error of his own accord.” 27 (It was said): “Do not remonstrate in My presence. I had warned you. 28 There is no changing of My word, nor am I unjust to My creatures." 29
