We created man -- We know the promptings of his soul, and are closer to him than his jugular vein -- 16 and the two recording angels are recording, sitting on the right and the left: 17 He does not utter a single word, without a ready recorder seated next to him. 18 And the stupor of death will bring Truth (before his eyes): "This was the thing which thou wast trying to escape!" 19 and [in the end] the trumpet [of resurrection] will be blown: that will be the Day of a warning fulfilled. 20 Each soul shall come with a driver, and a witness. 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 (angel) will say: "Here is (this Record) ready with me!" 23 [Whereupon God will command:] "Cast, cast into hell every [such] stubborn enemy of the truth, 24 forbidder of good, transgressor and doubter, 25 who has set up with Allah another god. Indeed, you two, cast him into the terrible punishment' 26 ۞ His Companion will say: "Our Lord! I did not make him transgress, but he was (himself) far astray." 27 He (Allah) will say: 'Do not dispute before Me. I sent you a warning beforehand. 28 The word will not be changed with Me, and never will I be unjust to the servants." 29
