(And it is said unto him): This is that which thou wast wont to shun. 19 And the Trumpet was blown; “This is the Day of the promised punishment.” 20 Each soul shall come with a driver, and a witness. 21 (It will be said to the sinners): "Indeed you were heedless of this, now We have removed your covering, and sharp is your sight this Day!" 22 His (angelic) companion will say, "(Lord), the record of his deeds is with me and is all ready". 23 Cast ye twain into Hell every person rebellious, contumacious. 24 "Every obstructor of good, transgressor, and the sceptic, 25 "Who set up another ilah (god) with Allah, then (both of you) cast him in the severe torment." 26 ۞ And his comrade shall say, 'Our Lord, I made him not insolent, but he was in far error.' 27 "Do not argue in My presence. I had announced the promise of doom in advance. 28 My word shall not be changed, nor am I in the least unjust to the servants. 29
