We swear that We have created the human being and We know what his soul whispers to him. We are closer to him than even his jugular vein. 16 (Remember!) that the two receivers (recording angels) receive (each human being after he or she has attained the age of puberty), one sitting on the right and one on the left (to note his or her actions). 17 There is not a word he utters but an observer is ready (to make note of it). 18 And the stupor of death will come in truth: this is that which thou hast been shunning. 19 And the trumpet shall be blown; that is the day of the threatening. 20 Everyone has come, each attended by one who will drive him on, and another who will bear witness. 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 And his companion, [the angel], will say, "This [record] is what is with me, prepared." 23 "Cast into Hell every ungrateful, rebellious one, 24 "Hinderer of good, transgressor, doubter, 25 Who made [as equal] with Allah another deity; then throw 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 The Sentence that comes from Me cannot be changed, and I am not unjust (to the least) to the slaves." 29
