We verily created man and We know what his soul whispereth to him, and We are nearer to him than his jugular vein. 16 Moreover, there are two scribes, one each sitting on the right and the left, recording everything. 17 Man does not utter any word except that with him is an observer prepared [to record]. 18 and (the human being will be told), "This is what you had been trying to run away from". 19 and [in the end] the trumpet [of resurrection] will be blown: that will be the Day of a warning fulfilled. 20 And every soul cometh, along with it a driver and a witness. 21 (It will be said to the sinners): "Indeed you were heedless of this, now We have removed your covering, and sharp is your sight this Day!" 22 His (angelic) companion will say, "(Lord), the record of his deeds is with me and is all ready". 23 [Whereupon God will command:] "Cast, cast into hell every [such] stubborn enemy of the truth, 24 who hinders good, exceeds the limits, is immersed in doubts, 25 "Who set up another god beside Allah: Throw him into a severe penalty." 26 ۞ And his companion shall say: 'Our Lord, I did not make him insolent, he was far astray' 27 [And] He will say: "Contend not before Me, [O you sinners,] for I gave you a forewarning [of this Day of Reckoning]. 28 The Word will not be changed in My presence, nor am I an oppressor at all unto My bondmen. 29
