Chapter 50, Page 519, Juz 26

16. And We have already created man and know what his soul whispers to him, and We are closer to him than [his] jugular vein. 17. When the two receivers [i.e., recording angels] receive, seated on the right and on the left. 18. He [i.e., man] utters no word except that with him is an observer prepared [to record]. 19. And the intoxication of death will bring the truth; that is what you were trying to avoid. 20. And the Horn will be blown. That is the Day of [carrying out] the threat. 21. And every soul will come, with it a driver and a witness. 22. [It will be said], "You were certainly in unmindfulness of this, and We have removed from you your cover, so your sight, this Day, is sharp." 23. And his companion, [the angel], will say, "This [record] is what is with me, prepared." 24. [Allāh will say], "Throw into Hell every obstinate disbeliever, 25. Preventer of good, aggressor, and doubter, 26. Who made [as equal] with Allāh another deity; then throw him into the severe punishment." 27. His [devil] companion will say, "Our Lord, I did not make him transgress, but he [himself] was in extreme error." 28. [Allāh] will say, "Do not dispute before Me, while I had already presented to you the threat [i.e., warning]. 29. The word [i.e., decree] will not be changed with Me, and never will I be unjust to the servants."
