He created man and surely know what misdoubts arise in their hearts; for We are closer to him than his jugular vein. 16 When the two (angels) who keep the account, one sitting on the right, one on the left, take it down, 17 He does not utter a single word, without a ready recorder seated next to him. 18 And the stupor of death will come in truth: "This is what you have been avoiding!" 19 And the Horn shall be blown; that is the Day of Threat! 20 And every soul shall come, and with it a driver and a witness. 21 (And the driver will say:) "You were oblivious of this, so we have removed the veil, and how keen is your sight today!" 22 And his companion will say: 'This is that which I have present' 23 [Allah will say], "Throw into Hell every obstinate disbeliever, 24 who hinders good, exceeds the limits, is immersed in doubts, 25 Who sets up another god with Allah, so do cast him into severe chastisement. 26 ۞ and his associate [Satan] will say, "Lord, I did not make him transgress, he had already gone far astray himself." 27 The Lord will say, "Do not argue in My presence; I had certainly sent you a warning. 28 There is no changing of My word, nor am I unjust to My creatures." 29
