This is what you wished to avert. 19 And the Trumpet was blown; “This is the Day of the promised punishment.” 20 Every soul will be accompanied (by an angel) behind him and another as a witness. 21 (And the driver will say:) "You were oblivious of this, so we have removed the veil, and how keen is your sight today!" 22 And his companion will say: this is that which with me is ready. 23 (They will be told,) "Throw into hell every persistent disbelievers, 24 "Hinderer of good, transgressor, doubter, 25 who set up with God another god; therefore, you twain, cast him into the terrible chastisement.' 26 ۞ And his companion shall say: 'Our Lord, I did not make him insolent, he was far astray' 27 God will say, "Do not quarrel in My presence. I gave you the warning beforehand 28 The Sentence that comes from Me cannot be changed, and I am not unjust (to the least) to the slaves." 29
