And indeed We have created man, and We know what his ownself whispers to him. And We are nearer to him than his jugular vein (by Our Knowledge). 16 When both receivers (the angels) receive, one on his right, the other on his left, 17 Man does not utter any word except that with him is an observer prepared [to record]. 18 And when the agony of death comes in truth (they will say): 'This is what you have been trying to avoid' 19 And the trumpet will be blown: this is the Day of the Threatening. 20 And there will come forth every soul: with each will be an (angel) to drive, and an (angel) to bear witness. 21 You were heedless of this, but now We have removed your veil, so your sight today is sharp. 22 His companion said: “Here is he who was in my charge.” 23 (And it is said): Do ye twain hurl to hell each rebel ingrate, 24 hinderer of good, transgressor, causing others to doubt, 25 “The one who appointed another God along with Allah – so both of you fling him into the severe punishment.” 26 ۞ His comrade saith: Our Lord! I did not cause him to rebel, but he was (himself) far gone in error. 27 "Do not argue in My presence. I had announced the promise of doom in advance. 28 My Word is not changed; and never do I inflict the least wrong upon My servants.” 29
