أَفَعَيينا بِالخَلقِ الأَوَّلِ ۚ بَل هُم في لَبسٍ مِن خَلقٍ جَديدٍ

Did We fail in the first creation? But they are in confusion over a new creation.

وَلَقَد خَلَقنَا الإِنسانَ وَنَعلَمُ ما تُوَسوِسُ بِهِ نَفسُهُ ۖ وَنَحنُ أَقرَبُ إِلَيهِ مِن حَبلِ الوَريدِ

And We have already created man and know what his soul whispers to him, and We are closer to him than [his] jugular vein

وَقالَ قَرينُهُ هـٰذا ما لَدَيَّ عَتيدٌ

And his companion, [the angel], will say, "This [record] is what is with me, prepared."

أَلقِيا في جَهَنَّمَ كُلَّ كَفّارٍ عَنيدٍ

[Allah will say], "Throw into Hell every obstinate disbeliever,
