And indeed We have created man and We know what his soul instils in him; and We are nearer to him than the hearts artery. 16 [And so,] whenever the two demands [of his nature] come face to face, contending from the right and from the left, 17 He does not utter a single word, without a ready recorder seated next to him. 18 And the stupor of death will bring Truth (before his eyes): "This was the thing which thou wast trying to escape!" 19 The trumpet will be sounded. This is the Day [you were] warned of. 20 Each soul will come with a driver and a witness. 21 (It will be said): 'Of this you have been heedless. Therefore, we have now removed your covering. Today your sight is sharp' 22 His (angelic) companion will say, "(Lord), the record of his deeds is with me and is all ready". 23 "Cast each stubborn unbeliever into Hell," (they will be told), 24 "Every obstructor of good, transgressor, and the sceptic, 25 who set up with God another god; therefore, you twain, cast him into the terrible chastisement.' 26 ۞ His accompanying devil said, “Our Lord! I did not cause him to rebel, but he himself was in extreme error.” 27 He (Allah) will say: 'Do not dispute before Me. I sent you a warning beforehand. 28 There is no changing of My word, nor am I unjust to My creatures." 29
