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 the two receiving angels receive from him, one seated on the right and one on the left. 17 Not a word does he (or she) utter, but there is a watcher by him ready (to record it). 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 shall be blown; that is the day of the threatening. 20 Everyone has come, each attended by one who will drive him on, and another who will bear witness. 21 [and will be told:] "Indeed, unmindful hast thou been of this [Day of Judgment]; but now We have lifted from thee thy veil, and sharp is thy sight today!" 22 And (unto the evil-doer) his comrade saith: This is that which I have ready (as testimony). 23 Cast ye twain into Hell every person rebellious, contumacious. 24 "Who forbade what was good, transgressed all bounds, cast doubts and suspicions; 25 Who made [as equal] with Allah another deity; then throw him into the severe punishment." 26 ۞ And his companion shall say: 'Our Lord, I did not make him insolent, he was far astray' 27 God will say, "Do not quarrel in My presence. I gave you the warning beforehand 28 My Word is not changed; and never do I inflict the least wrong upon My servants.” 29
