Chapter 50, Page 519, Juz 26

16. Indeed, ˹it is˺ We ˹Who˺ created humankind and ˹fully˺ know what their souls whisper to them, and We are closer to them than ˹their˺ jugular vein. 17. As the two recording-angels—˹one˺ sitting to the right, and ˹the other to˺ the left—note ˹everything˺, 18. not a word does a person utter without having a ˹vigilant˺ observer ready ˹to write it down˺. 19. ˹Ultimately,˺ with the throes of death will come the truth. This is what you were trying to escape! 20. And the Trumpet will be blown. This is the Day ˹you were˺ warned of. 21. Each soul will come forth with an angel to drive it and another to testify. 22. ˹It will be said to the denier,˺ “You were totally heedless of this. Now We have lifted this veil of yours, so Today your sight is sharp!” 23. And one’s accompanying-angel will say, “Here is the record ready with me.” 24. ˹It will be said to both angels,˺ “Throw into Hell every stubborn disbeliever, 25. withholder of good, transgressor, and doubter, 26. who set up another god with Allah. So cast them into the severe punishment.” 27. One’s ˹devilish˺ associate will say, “Our Lord! I did not make them transgress. Rather, they were far astray ˹on their own˺.” 28. Allah will respond, “Do not dispute in My presence, since I had already given you a warning. 29. My Word cannot be changed, nor am I unjust to ˹My˺ creation.”
