Chapter 50, Page 519, Juz 26

16. We verily created man and We know what his soul whispereth to him, and We are nearer to him than his jugular vein. 17. When the two Receivers receive (him), seated on the right hand and on the left, 18. He uttereth no word but there is with him an observer ready. 19. And the agony of death cometh in truth. (And it is said unto him): This is that which thou wast wont to shun. 20. And the trumpet is blown. This is the threatened Day. 21. And every soul cometh, along with it a driver and a witness. 22. (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. 23. And (unto the evil-doer) his comrade saith: This is that which I have ready (as testimony). 24. (And it is said): Do ye twain hurl to hell each rebel ingrate, 25. Hinderer of good, transgressor, doubter, 26. Who setteth up another god along with Allah. Do ye twain hurl him to the dreadful doom. 27. His comrade saith: Our Lord! I did not cause him to rebel, but he was (himself) far gone in error. 28. He saith: Contend not in My presence, when I had already proffered unto you the warning. 29. The sentence that cometh from Me cannot be changed, and I am in no wise a tyrant unto the slaves.
