NOW, VERILY, it is We who have created man, and We know what his innermost self whispers within him: for We are closer to him than his neck-vein. 16 (Remember!) that the two receivers (recording angels) receive (each human being after he or she has attained the age of puberty), one sitting on the right and one on the left (to note his or her actions). 17 Not a word does he (or she) utter, but there is a watcher by him ready (to record it). 18 And death's agony comes in truth; that is what thou wast shunning! 19 and [in the end] the trumpet [of resurrection] will be blown: that will be the Day of a warning fulfilled. 20 And every soul will come, with it a driver and a witness. 21 'Thou wast heedless of this; therefore We have now removed from thee thy covering, and so thy sight today is piercing.' 22 And his Companion will say: "Here is (his Record) ready with me!" 23 (It will be said): 'Indeed, cast into Gehenna (Hell) every deviating unbeliever, 24 [every] withholder of good [and] sinful aggressor [and] fomentor of distrust [between man and man - everyone] 25 Who sets up another god with Allah, so do cast him into severe chastisement. 26 ۞ His companion will say: Our Lord! I did not lead him into inordinacy but he himself was in a great error. 27 The Lord will say, "Do not argue in My presence; I had certainly sent you a warning. 28 The Word is not changed with Me; I wrong not My servants.' 29
