We verily created man and We know what his soul whispereth to him, and We are nearer to him than his jugular vein. 16 Behold! when the two receivers receive - one on the right hand and one on the left a sitter. 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 come in truth: this is that which thou hast been shunning. 19 And then the Trumpet was blown. This is the day of the promised chastisement. 20 And every human being will come forward with [his erstwhile] inner urges and [his] conscious mind, 21 (And unto the evil-doer it is said): Thou wast in heedlessness of this. Now We have removed from thee thy covering, and piercing is thy sight this day. 22 His (angelic) companion will say, "(Lord), the record of his deeds is with me and is all ready". 23 (And it is said): Do ye twain hurl to hell each rebel ingrate, 24 [every] withholder of good [and] sinful aggressor [and] fomentor of distrust [between man and man - everyone] 25 who has set up another god besides God: cast him into severe punishment" -- 26 ۞ His satanic companion will say, "Our Lord, I did not mislead him, but he himself went astray". 27 He (Allah) will say: 'Do not dispute before Me. I sent you a warning beforehand. 28 The Word cannot be changed with Me; I do not wrong My worshipers' 29
