And indeed We have created man, and We know what his ownself whispers to him. And We are nearer to him than his jugular vein (by Our Knowledge). 16 Behold! when the two receivers receive - one on the right hand and one on the left a sitter. 17 There is not a word he utters but an observer is ready (to make note of it). 18 And the stupor of death will come in truth; that is what you were trying to escape. 19 And the trumpet is blown. This is the threatened Day. 20 Every soul will be accompanied (by an angel) behind him and another as a witness. 21 “You were indeed neglectful of this, so We have removed the veil for you, and your eyesight is sharp this day.” 22 And one part of him will say: "This it is that has been ever-present with me!" 23 The command was given: “Cast into Hell every hardened, stubborn unbeliever, 24 Forbidder of good, exceeder of limits, doubter, 25 who has set up another god besides God: cast him into severe punishment" -- 26 ۞ Man's other self' will say: "O our Sustainer! It was not I that led his conscious mind into evil [nay,] but it had gone far astray [of its own accord]! 27 [And] He will say: "Contend not before Me, [O you sinners,] for I gave you a forewarning [of this Day of Reckoning]. 28 The judgment passed by Me shall not be altered; but never do I do the least wrong unto My creatures!" 29
