NOW, VERILY, it is We who have created man, and We know what his innermost self whispers within him: for We are closer to him than his neck-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 There is not a word he utters but an observer is ready (to make note of it). 18 And the stupor of death will come in truth: "This is what you have been avoiding!" 19 And then the Trumpet was blown. This is the day of the promised chastisement. 20 And every human being will come forward with [his erstwhile] inner urges and [his] conscious mind, 21 “You were indeed neglectful of this, so We have removed the veil for you, and your eyesight is sharp 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 [every] withholder of good [and] sinful aggressor [and] fomentor of distrust [between man and man - everyone] 25 "Who set up another god beside Allah: Throw him into a severe penalty." 26 ۞ And his comrade shall say, 'Our Lord, I made him not insolent, but he was in far error.' 27 Allah will say: "Dispute not in front of Me, I had already, in advance, sent you the threat. 28 No word is to be exchanged in My presence. I am not unjust to My servants". 29
