Chapter 50, Page 519, Juz 26

16. Indeed We have created man, and We know whatever thoughts his inner self develops, and We are closer to him than (his) jugular vein, 17. when the two receiving angels receive (every human act to record it), seated (one) on the right and (one) on the left. 18. Not a single word is uttered by one but there is a watcher near him, ready (to record). 19. The daze of death has (to) come with truth. That is what you tried to escape. 20. And the Horn will be blown. That will be the day of (which) threat (was given). 21. And everybody will come, along with one (angel) to drive (him to the field of reckoning) and one (angel) to testify (about his deeds). 22. “You were heedless of this. Now We have removed your veil from you; so your sight today is sharp.” 23. And his companion (i.e. the angel who recorded his deeds) will say, “This is what I have with me, ready (to be presented as his record of deeds).” 24. (Then it will be said,) “Cast, (O two angels,) into Jahannam (Hell) every obstinate disbeliever 25. who used to prevent (others) from good (behavior), who transgressed all bounds, who cast doubts (in true faith), 26. who set up another god along with Allah. So cast him (O angels) in the painful punishment.” 27. His (evil) companion (i.e. the Satan) will say, “O our Lord, I did not cause him to rebel, but he was himself (involved) in straying far from the track.” 28. He (Allah) will say, “Do not quarrel before Me, while I had sent to you My threat well in advance. 29. The Word is not changed with Me, and I Am not so unjust to My servants.”
