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 When the two (angels) who keep the account, one sitting on the right, one on the left, take it down, 17 Not a word does he (or she) utter, but there is a watcher by him ready (to record it). 18 Lo, the agony of death has indeed come with the Truth. That is what you had sought to avoid. 19 The trumpet will certainly be sounded. This will be the day (about which you) were threatened. 20 And every soul shall come, and with it a driver and a witness. 21 (And the driver will say:) "You were oblivious of this, so we have removed the veil, and how keen is your sight today!" 22 His companion will say: "Here is (the record) I have ready with me." 23 Cast ye twain into Hell every person rebellious, contumacious. 24 "Every obstructor of good, transgressor, and the sceptic, 25 Who setteth up another god along with Allah. Do ye twain hurl him to the dreadful doom. 26 ۞ His satanic companion will say, "Our Lord, I did not mislead him, but he himself went astray". 27 He saith: Contend not in My presence, when I had already proffered unto you the warning. 28 The Sentence that comes from Me cannot be changed, and I am not unjust (to the least) to the slaves." 29
