Walaqad khalaqna al-insana wanaAAlamu ma tuwaswisu bihi nafsuhu wanahnu aqrabu ilayhi min habli alwareedi\n16. It was We Who\n Created man, and We know\n What dark suggestions his soul\n Makes to him: for We\n Are nearer to him\n Than (his) jugular vein.\n17. Ith yatalaqqa almutalaqqiyani AAani alyameeni waAAani alshshimali qaAAeedun\n17. Behold, two (guardian angels)\n Appointed to learn (his doings)\n Learn (and note them),\n One sitting on the right\n And one on the left.\n18. Ma yalfithu min qawlin illa ladayhi raqeebun AAateedun\n18. Not a word does he\n Utter but there is\n A sentinel by him,\n Ready (to note it).\n19. Wajaat sakratu almawti bialhaqqi thalika ma kunta minhu taheedu\n19. And the stupor of death\n Will bring truth (before\n His eyes): \"This was\n The thing which thou\n Wast trying to escape!\"\n20. Wanufikha fee alssoori thalika yawmu alwaAAeedi\n20. And the Trumpet\n Shall be blown:\n That will be the Day\n Whereof Warning (had been given).\n21. Wajaat kullu nafsin maAAaha sa-iqun washaheedun\n21. And there will come forth\n Every soul: with each\n Will be an (angel) to drive,\n And an (angel) to\n Bear witness.\n22. Laqad kunta fee ghaflatin min hatha fakashafna AAanka ghitaaka fabasaruka alyawma hadeedun\n22. (It will be said:)\n \"Thou wast heedless\n Of this; now have We\n Removed thy veil,\nAnd sharp is thy sight\n This Day!\"\n23. Waqala qareenuhu hatha ma ladayya AAateedun\n23. And his Companion will say:\n \"Here is (his Record) ready\n With me!\"\n24. Alqiya fee jahannama kulla kaffarin AAaneedin\n24. (The sentence will be:)\n \"Throw, throw into Hell\n Every contumacious Rejecter\n (Of God)!\u2014\n25. MannaAAin lilkhayri muAAtadin mureebin\n25. \"Who forbade what was good,\n Transgressed all bounds,\n Cast doubts and suspicions;\n26. Allathee jaAAala maAAa Allahi ilahan akhara faalqiyahu fee alAAathabi alshshadeedi\n26. \"Who set up another god\n Beside God: throw him\n Into a severe Penalty.\"\n27. Qala qareenuhu rabbana ma atghaytuhu walakin kana fee dalalin baAAeedin\n27. His Companion will say:\n \"Our Lord! I did not\n Make him transgress,\n But he was (himself)\n Far astray.\"\n28. Qala la takhtasimoo ladayya waqad qaddamtu ilaykum bialwaAAeedi\n28. He will say: \"Dispute not\n With each other\n In My Presence:\n I had already in advance\n Sent you Warning.\n29. Ma yubaddalu alqawlu ladayya wama ana bithallamin lilAAabeedi\n29. \"The Word changes not\n Before Me, and I do not\n The least injustice\n To My Servants.\"","title":"The Quran: S\u016bra L.: Q\u0101f.: Section 2 (16-29)","type":"page"}
