We verily created man and We know what his soul whispereth to him, and We are nearer to him than his jugular vein. 16 [And so,] whenever the two demands [of his nature] come face to face, contending from the right and from the left, 17 Man does not utter any word except that with him is an observer prepared [to record]. 18 Lo, the agony of death has indeed come with the Truth. That is what you had sought to avoid. 19 and [in the end] the trumpet [of resurrection] will be blown: that will be the Day of a warning fulfilled. 20 And there will come forth every soul: with each will be an (angel) to drive, and an (angel) to 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, you twain, into Gehenna every froward unbeliever, 24 forbidder of good, transgressor and doubter, 25 Who sets up another god with Allah, so do cast him into severe chastisement. 26 ۞ and his associate [Satan] will say, "Lord, I did not make him transgress, he had already gone far astray himself." 27 He (Allah) will say: 'Do not dispute before Me. I sent you a warning beforehand. 28 The word will not be changed with Me, and never will I be unjust to the servants." 29
