| 16. And assuredly, WE have created man and WE know what his mind whispers to him, and WE are nearer to him than even his jugular vein. 17. When the two Recording angels record everything, sitting on his right and on his left; 18. He utters not a word but there is by him a guardian angel ready to record it, 19. And the stupor of death, certainly comes. `this is what thou wast striving to run from.' 20. And the trumpet shall be blown. That will be the Day of Promise. 21. And every soul shall come forth and along with it there will be an angel to bear witness. 22. Then WE shall say, `Thou wast heedless of this; now WE have removed from thee thy veil, and keen is thy sight this day.' 23. And his companion will say, `This is what I have ready of his record.' 24. WE shall say to his two companions, cast ye twain into Hell every disbelieving enemy of truth, 25. Hinderer of good, transgressor, doubter; 26. `Who sets up another god beside ALLAH, so do, ye twain, cast him into the severe torment.' 27. His associate will say, `O Lord, it was not that I caused him to rebel; but he himself was too far gone in error.' 28. ALLAH will say, `Quarrel not in MY presence; I gave you the warning beforehand, 29. `The sentenced passed by ME cannot be changed, and I am not in the least unjust to MY servants.' 30. On that day WE will say to Hell, `Art thou filled up ?' And it will answer, `Are there any more ?' 31. And Heaven will be brought near to the righteous, no longer remote. 32. And it will be said, `This is what was promised to you -to every one who constantly turned to God and was watchful of his actions, 33. `Who feared the Gracious God in private and came to HIM with a penitent heart. 34. `Enter ye therein in peace. This is the Day of Eternity.' 35. They will have therein whatever they desire, and with US is a good deal more. |
