This is the day of the promised chastisement. 20 And every human being will come forward with [his erstwhile] inner urges and [his] conscious mind, 21 “You were indeed neglectful of this, so We have removed the veil for you, and your eyesight is sharp this day.” 22 And his companion will say: this is that which with me is ready. 23 (The sentence will be:) "Throw, throw into Hell every contumacious Rejecter (of Allah)!- 24 Forbidder of good, exceeder of limits, doubter, 25 "Who set up another ilah (god) with Allah, then (both of you) cast him in the severe torment." 26 ۞ Man's other self' will say: "O our Sustainer! It was not I that led his conscious mind into evil [nay,] but it had gone far astray [of its own accord]! 27 He will say, “Do not dispute before Me – I had already warned you of the punishment.” 28 The Word is not changed with Me; I wrong not My servants.' 29
