We swear that We have created the human being and We know what his soul whispers to him. We are closer to him than even his jugular vein. 16 [And so,] whenever the two demands [of his nature] come face to face, contending from the right and from the left, 17 Man does not utter any word except that with him is an observer prepared [to record]. 18 And the hardship of death came with the truth; “This is what you were escaping from!” 19 And the trumpet blast will sound: It would be the Day of Doom. 20 Everyone has come, each attended by one who will drive him on, and another who will bear witness. 21 'Thou wast heedless of this; therefore We have now removed from thee thy covering, and so thy sight today is piercing.' 22 And his Companion will say: "Here is (his Record) ready with me!" 23 The command was given: “Cast into Hell every hardened, stubborn unbeliever, 24 every hinderer of the good, transgressor, disquieter, 25 "Who set up another god beside Allah: Throw him into a severe penalty." 26 ۞ His [devil] companion will say, "Our Lord, I did not make him transgress, but he [himself] was in extreme error." 27 Allah will say: wrangle not in My presence, and I had already proferred unto you the threat. 28 “With Me, the decree does not change, and nor do I oppress the bondmen.” 29
