We created man -- We know the promptings of his soul, and are closer to him than his jugular vein -- 16 When both receivers (the angels) receive, one on his right, the other on his left, 17 He utters not a word but there is by him a watcher at hand. 18 Lo, the agony of death has indeed come with the Truth. That is what you had sought to avoid. 19 And the Horn shall be blown; that is the Day of Threat! 20 Each person will arrive attended by an [angel] to drive him on and another to bear witness. 21 “You were indeed neglectful of this, so We have removed the veil for you, and your eyesight is sharp this day.” 22 His companion said: “Here is he who was in my charge.” 23 It will be said to the angels, “Both of you fling every excessive ungrateful, stubborn person into hell.” 24 every hinderer of the good, transgressor, disquieter, 25 and has set up another deity with Allah. Hurl him into the grievous torment.” 26 ۞ Man's other self' will say: "O our Sustainer! It was not I that led his conscious mind into evil [nay,] but it had gone far astray [of its own accord]! 27 He will say: Do not quarrel in My presence, and indeed I gave you the threatening beforehand: 28 The Word will not be changed in My presence, nor am I an oppressor at all unto My bondmen. 29
