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 will be blown. That is the Day of [carrying out] the threat. 20 And every human being will come forward with [his erstwhile] inner urges and [his] conscious mind, 21 (And unto the evil-doer it is said): Thou wast in heedlessness of this. Now We have removed from thee thy covering, and piercing is thy sight this day. 22 And (unto the evil-doer) his comrade saith: This is that which I have ready (as testimony). 23 "Cast into Hell every ungrateful, rebellious one, 24 [every] withholder of good [and] sinful aggressor [and] fomentor of distrust [between man and man - everyone] 25 Who made [as equal] with Allah another deity; then throw him into the severe punishment." 26 ۞ His companion will say: Our Lord! I did not lead him into inordinacy but he himself was in a great error. 27 He saith: Contend not in My presence, when I had already proffered unto you the warning. 28 The Word is not changed with Me; I wrong not My servants.' 29
