What does the Qur'an say about the two angels who record every deed?

Key findingsEditorial

One finding for each passage this study carries, in the order the study reads them. Each is the reason that passage was signed into the study, in full and unedited - including, where the renderings disagree, the disagreement.

  1. 01 50:17–18 WHEN THE TWO RECEIVERS RECEIVE (HIM), SEATED ON THE RIGHT HAND AND ON THE LEFT. HE UTTERETH NO WORD BUT THERE IS WITH HIM AN OBSERVER READY. In as ONE PASSAGE because it is the only place in the Qur'an describing two recorders, their positions, and what they take down - and 50:18 specifies SPEECH.
  2. 02 82:10–12 Lo, there are above you GUARDIANS, GENEROUS AND RECORDING, WHO KNOW (ALL) THAT YE DO. In as ONE PASSAGE because it gives them three attributes - watching, honourable, writing - and the claim that they know everything done.
  3. 03 43:80 Or deem they that We cannot hear their secret thoughts and their private confidences? Nay, but OUR ENVOYS, PRESENT WITH THEM, DO RECORD. In because it extends the recording to what is said privately and to what is thought, and it is offered as an answer to people who assumed otherwise.
  4. 04 17:13–14 And every man's augury have We fastened to his own neck, and We shall bring forth for him on the Day of Resurrection A BOOK WHICH HE WILL FIND WIDE OPEN. Read thy book. THY SOUL SUFFICETH AS RECKONER AGAINST THEE THIS DAY. In as ONE PASSAGE because it is what the recording produces, and because the reader of the record turns out to be the person themselves. ALSO CARRIED by the study What does the Qur'an say about the record given in the right or the left hand?, with a different reason there.
  5. 05 13:11 For him are angels ranged before him and behind him, WHO GUARD HIM BY GOD'S COMMAND. In because it describes attendant angels in a protective rather than a clerical role, which is the other function the text gives them.
In plain wordsEditorial written by the editors, not a translation

Written by the editors. Not a translation, and not a source. It is an editorial restatement of the verses in this study and carries their name because someone has to answer for it.

The Qur'an describes this in three places and gives fewer details than the tradition built on it.

50:17-18 is the fullest: WHEN THE TWO RECEIVERS RECEIVE (HIM), SEATED ON THE RIGHT HAND AND ON THE LEFT. HE UTTERETH NO WORD BUT THERE IS WITH HIM AN OBSERVER READY.

Two of them, one on each side. And note what 50:18 specifies: no WORD is uttered without an observer present. The verse names speech.

82:10-12 gives them three qualities: GUARDIANS, GENEROUS or honourable, AND RECORDING - and adds that they KNOW ALL THAT YE DO.

43:80 extends the range beyond speech, and it is framed as a correction: do they think We cannot hear their secret thoughts and private confidences? NAY, BUT OUR ENVOYS, PRESENT WITH THEM, DO RECORD. The recording covers what is said in private.

13:11 describes attendant angels doing something else entirely - ranged before and behind, WHO GUARD HIM BY GOD'S COMMAND. Protection rather than clerical work.

17:13-14 is what the recording is for, and it contains the strangest thing in the set. The book is produced WIDE OPEN, and the instruction is READ THY BOOK - THY SOUL SUFFICETH AS RECKONER AGAINST THEE THIS DAY. The person is handed the record and told to audit themselves.

What the Qur'an does not supply are the names, the division of labour between the right and the left, the delay before a bad deed is written, or any of the detail familiar from later literature. That is , and no hadith collection has cleared the rights audit.

not a scholar — what this signature means

I am not a scholar, and nothing here asks you to treat me as one. The plain words on this site are my restatement of what the five translations shown above say, together with counts derived from the text itself — nothing more. I sign them so that a named person is accountable for every sentence, not so you'll take my word for anything. The authority on this page is the text and its translators. If my words don't match theirs, mine are the ones that are wrong.

Scope of this study

This platform shows the verse, its easy-read line, its translations, a plain-words reading, and each verse among its neighbours. It does not supply occasion of revelation, interpretation (tafsir) or history, and it never invents them.

What this study does not answer, and which source would be needed. It does not say on what occasion any of these verses was given: this study holds no source whose usage rights can be verified. It does not report how any commentator has read them: this study holds no either - the Arabic of , and is public domain by age, but no English edition with verifiable usage rights exists. And it offers no academic-historical reading: this study holds no such scholarship. Each of those is an absence with a named cause, not an omission.

What this rests on

Opens with 50:17–18, widening across 5 passages in all.

Easy-read is a simplified pronunciation, not authoritative — a rule-by-rule romanisation, not a reading. Each verse ends in its pause form, as it is said when you stop there. Pauses inside a verse and other tajwid rules are not shown. It is derived from the Tanzil Simple edition, while the Arabic above is the Uthmani edition; both are cleared, but they are not the same edition and their orthography differs.

The versesSource fact 5 passages, each with every cleared translation

5 passages, chosen for this question and signed as part of it. Each carries the reason it is here, and each renders in full: the Arabic, then every cleared translation of that verse under its translator's name.

Each verse opens on the translation that comes first in the site's fixed order, which runs from the newest translation to the oldest. The order is not a preference. Open Compare translations on any verse to read the others.

Hafs/Kufan verse numbering, 6236 ayahs. The bismillah is delivered as a separate `bismillah` attribute on ayah 1 and is NOT fused into the ayah text. 112 surahs carry one: every surah except al-Fatiha, where the bismillah is ayah 1:1 itself, and at-Tawba, which has none. Sourced from the XML output; the plain-text output of the same release DOES fuse it, which is defect D1.

მას [ალლაჰს] ჰყავს (ანგელოზები), რომლებიც პირდაპირ მის [კაცის] წინ და უკან მიჰყვებიან და ალლაჰის ბრძანებით აღრიცხავენ მის (საქმეებს). ჭეშმარიტად, ალლაჰი არ ცვლის (მდგომარეობას), (რომელშიც ადამიანები იმყოფებიან) სანამ ისინი თვითონვე არ შეცვლიან იმას, რაც მათთანაა [მდგომარეობას, რომელშიც იმყოფებიან] (კარგისკენ, ან ცუდისკენ). და თუ ალლაჰმა მოისურვა რომელიმე ხალხისთვის უბედურება (სასჯელის სახით), მაშინ ვერაფერი შეძლებს მის მოგერიებას, და მათ მის გარდა არავითარი მფარველი არ ჰყავთ!

Er hat aufeinanderfolgende (Engel), die diesen (, der sich verstecken möchte,) von vorne und von hinten behüten (und dies) mit Allahs Anordnung. Wahrlich, Allah ändert nicht den Zustand eines Volkes, bis sie selbst ihren eigenen Zustand ändern. Und wenn Allah einem Volk Schlechtes will, so kann es nicht zurückgewiesen werden. Und sie haben außer Ihm keinen Schutzherrn.

(Ο Αλλάχ) έχει αυτούς (τους Αγγέλους) που έρχονται διαδοχικά (σε κάθε άτομο από την προσευχή Φατζρ μέχρι την ‘Ασρ και το αντίστροφο) για να τον φυλάξουν από μπροστά και πίσω του, με την εντολή του Αλλάχ (από τα πάντα εκτός από ό,τι του όρισε ο Αλλάχ, και για να καταγράψουν τις πράξεις του). Ο Αλλάχ δεν αλλάζει την κατάσταση κάποιων ανθρώπων (από καλή σε κακή), μέχρι οι ίδιοι να αλλάξουν τον εαυτό τους (με τις αμαρτίες και την αχαριστία). Και αν ο Αλλάχ θέλει να πέσει κάτι κακό (από τιμωρία) σε κάποιους ανθρώπους, τότε δε θα αποτραπεί με τίποτε, ούτε θα έχουν εκτός Αυτού κανέναν προστάτη.

Talal Itani2012 It is the same; whether one of you conceals his speech, or declares it; whether he goes into hiding by night, or goes out by day.

Talal Itani2012 The thunder praises His glory, and so do the angels, in awe of Him. And He sends the thunderbolts, striking with them whomever He wills. Yet they argue about God, while He is Tremendous in might.

Mohammed Marmaduke William Pickthall1930 The thunder hymneth His praise and (so do) the angels for awe of Him. He launcheth the thunderbolts and smiteth with them whom He will while they dispute (in doubt) concerning Allah, and He is mighty in wrath

Edward Henry Palmer1880 And the thunder celebrates His praise, and the angels too for fear of Him; and He sends the thunder-clap and overtakes therewith whom He will;- yet they wrangle about God! But He is strong in might

What this study rests on, and what it refusessigned with it4 of the 5 paragraphs signed with this study; the paragraph naming what it does not answer is at the top of the page

The selection above and this account of it are part of what was signed. Where the renderings disagree it says so; where the question runs past what has cleared the rights audit it says that too.

Read across the four public-domain translations - Sale 1734, Rodwell 1861, Palmer 1880, Pickthall 1930 - of 50:17-18, 82:10-12, 43:80, 17:13-14, 13:11, in full, and nothing else. This study consults no , no , no occasion of revelation and no biography, because none is yet available in an edition whose usage rights can be verified. Itani 2012, the fifth translation shown with these verses, was not consulted for this study.

How this set was arrived at. The verses were found by a word search of the four public-domain translations, using terms chosen by the editor and listed here as they were searched - two + receivers + receive; seated + on + the + right + hand + and + on + the + left; he + uttereth + no + word + but + there + is + with + him + an + observer; guardians + watching + over + you; noble + and + recording. The search was a way of finding passages, not a judgement about what they mean: that several translators chose the same English word is not evidence about the Arabic. A different choice of terms gives a different set.

Verses carried by more than one study. Some passages here also serve another study. Each carries its own reason in each place, and the reason states where else it appears.

Where the translations part company, named rather than resolved. How differently the translations word each verse is shown on that verse's page, and the study names the differences it turns on rather than choosing between them.
