And certainly We created man, and We know what his mind suggests to him, and We are nearer to him than his life-vein. 16 When both receivers (the angels) receive, one on his right, the other on his left, 17 whatever phrase he utters, an observer is present. 18 And the stupor of death will bring Truth (before his eyes): "This was the thing which thou wast trying to escape!" 19 And the Trumpet was blown; “This is the Day of the promised punishment.” 20 And every human being will come forward with [his erstwhile] inner urges and [his] conscious mind, 21 You were heedless of this. Now We have removed your veil and so your vision today is sharp. 22 And his companion, [the angel], will say, "This [record] is what is with me, prepared." 23 Do cast into hell every ungrateful, rebellious one, 24 “The one who excessively prevented from virtue, the transgressor, the doubtful.” 25 who has set up another god besides God: cast him into severe punishment" -- 26 ۞ And his comrade shall say, 'Our Lord, I made him not insolent, but he was in far error.' 27 "Do not argue in My presence. I had announced the promise of doom in advance. 28 The Word is not changed with Me; I wrong not My servants.' 29
