Surely We have created man, and We know the promptings of his heart, and We are nearer to him than even his jugular vein. 16 When both receivers (the angels) receive, one on his right, the other on his left, 17 Not a word does he (or she) utter, but there is a watcher by him ready (to record it). 18 The trance of death will come revealing the truth: that is what you were trying to escape. 19 And the trumpet will be blown: this is the Day of the Threatening. 20 And every person will come forth along with an (angel) to drive (him), and an (angel) to bear witness. 21 Certainly you were heedless of it, but now We have removed from you your veil, so your sight today is sharp. 22 His (angelic) companion will say, "(Lord), the record of his deeds is with me and is all ready". 23 (It will be said): 'Indeed, cast into Gehenna (Hell) every deviating unbeliever, 24 every hinderer of the good, transgressor, disquieter, 25 who set up with God another god; therefore, you twain, cast him into the terrible chastisement.' 26 ۞ His companion will say: Our Lord! I did not lead him into inordinacy but he himself was in a great error. 27 He will say: Do not quarrel in My presence, and indeed I gave you the threatening beforehand: 28 The Sentence that comes from Me cannot be changed, and I am not unjust (to the least) to the slaves." 29
