We created man -- We know the promptings of his soul, and are closer to him than his jugular vein -- 16 When the two receivers receive, seated on the right and on the left. 17 not even a word can he utter but there is a watcher with him, ever-present. 18 And the stupor of death will come in truth; that is what you were trying to escape. 19 The trumpet will certainly be sounded. This will be the day (about which you) were threatened. 20 And there will come forth every soul: with each will be an (angel) to drive, and an (angel) to bear witness. 21 (It will be said:) "Thou wast heedless of this; now have We removed thy veil, and sharp is thy sight this Day!" 22 His (angelic) companion will say, "(Lord), the record of his deeds is with me and is all ready". 23 (And it is said): Do ye twain hurl to hell each rebel ingrate, 24 Forbidder of good, exceeder of limits, doubter, 25 Who set up with Allah another god. So cast him ye twain into the torment severe. 26 ۞ His companion will say: O our Lord! caused him not to transgress but he was himself in error far off. 27 [Allah] will say, "Do not dispute before Me, while I had already presented to you the warning. 28 My Word is not changed; and never do I inflict the least wrong upon My servants.” 29
