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.
50:16
As the two recording-angels—˹one˺ sitting to the right, and ˹the other to˺ the left—note ˹everything˺,
50:17
not a word does a person utter without having a ˹vigilant˺ observer ready ˹to write it down˺.1
50:18
˹Ultimately,˺ with the throes of death will come the truth.1 This is what you were trying to escape!
50:19
And the Trumpet will be blown.1 This is the Day ˹you were˺ warned of.
50:20
Each soul will come forth with an angel to drive it and another to testify.
50:21
˹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!”
50:22
And one’s accompanying-angel will say, “Here is the record ready with me.”
50:23
˹It will be said to both angels,˺ “Throw into Hell every stubborn disbeliever,
50:24
withholder of good, transgressor, and doubter,
50:25
who set up another god with Allah. So cast them into the severe punishment.”
50:26
One’s ˹devilish˺ associate will say, “Our Lord! I did not make them transgress. Rather, they were far astray ˹on their own˺.”
50:27
Allah will respond, “Do not dispute in My presence, since I had already given you a warning.
50:28
My Word cannot be changed,1 nor am I unjust to ˹My˺ creation.”
50:29
˹Beware of˺ the Day We will ask Hell, “Are you full ˹yet˺?” And it will respond, “Are there any more?”
50:30
And Paradise will be brought near to the righteous, not far off.
50:31
˹And it will be said to them,˺ “This is what you were promised, for whoever ˹constantly˺ turned ˹to Allah˺ and kept up ˹His commandments˺—
50:32
who were in awe of the Most Compassionate without seeing ˹Him˺,1 and have come with a heart turning ˹only to Him˺.
50:33
Enter it in peace. This is the Day of eternal life!”
50:34
There they will have whatever they desire, and with Us is ˹even˺ more.1
50:35
