And indeed We have created man, and We know what his ownself whispers to him. And We are nearer to him than his jugular vein (by Our Knowledge). 16 [And so,] whenever the two demands [of his nature] come face to face, contending from the right and from the left, 17 He utters not a word, but there is a vigilant watcher at hand. 18 And the agony of death cometh in truth. (And it is said unto him): This is that which thou wast wont to shun. 19 And the Horn will be blown. That is the Day of [carrying out] the threat. 20 And every human being will come forward with [his erstwhile] inner urges and [his] conscious mind, 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 his companions shall say: This is what is ready with me. 23 "Cast each stubborn unbeliever into Hell," (they will be told), 24 Hinderer of good, trespasser, doubter 25 Who sets up another god with Allah, so do cast him into severe chastisement. 26 ۞ His companion said: “I did not incite him to rebel; he was far gone into error of his own accord.” 27 He saith: Contend not in My presence, when I had already proffered unto you the warning. 28 The Word will not be changed in My presence, nor am I an oppressor at all unto My bondmen. 29
