We verily created man and We know what his soul whispereth to him, and We are nearer to him than his jugular vein. 16 When both receivers (the angels) receive, one on his right, the other on his left, 17 He does not utter a single word, without a ready recorder seated next to him. 18 And the hardship of death came with the truth; “This is what you were escaping from!” 19 And the trumpet shall be blown; that is the day of the threatening. 20 And every soul came, along with a herder and a witness. 21 (He will be told), "You were completely heedless of this day. We have removed the veil from your eyes and your vision will now be sharp and strong". 22 And his companion (angel) will say: "Here is (this Record) ready with me!" 23 [Whereupon God will command:] "Cast, cast into hell every [such] stubborn enemy of the truth, 24 Forbidder of good, exceeder of limits, doubter, 25 who has set up another deity beside God: cast him, then, cast him into suffering severe!" 26 ۞ His companion will say: "O Lord, I did not lead him to wickedness, but he was himself far astray." 27 He will say, “Do not dispute before Me – I had already warned you of the punishment.” 28 The Word will not be changed in My presence, nor am I an oppressor at all unto My bondmen. 29
