And certainly We created man, and We know what his mind suggests to him, and We are nearer to him than his life-vein. 16 When the two (angels) who keep the account, one sitting on the right, one on the left, take it down, 17 whatever phrase he utters, an observer is present. 18 And the hardship of death came with the truth; “This is what you were escaping from!” 19 The trumpet will certainly be sounded. This will be the day (about which you) were threatened. 20 Each soul shall come with a driver, and a witness. 21 (It will be said to the sinners): "Indeed you were heedless of this, now We have removed your covering, and sharp is your sight this Day!" 22 His (angelic) companion will say, "(Lord), the record of his deeds is with me and is all ready". 23 [Whereupon God will command:] "Cast, cast into hell every [such] stubborn enemy of the truth, 24 Hinderer of good, transgressor, doubter, 25 Who sets up another god with Allah, so do cast him into severe chastisement. 26 ۞ His [devil] companion will say, "Our Lord, I did not make him transgress, but he [himself] was in extreme error." 27 God will say, "Do not quarrel in My presence. I gave you the warning beforehand 28 My Word is not changed; and never do I inflict the least wrong upon My servants.” 29
