That is the Day of [carrying out] the threat. 20 Each soul will come with a driver and a witness. 21 [It will be said], "You were certainly in unmindfulness of this, and We have removed from you your cover, so your sight, this Day, is sharp." 22 And his companions shall say: This is what is ready with me. 23 [Whereupon God will command:] "Cast, cast into hell every [such] stubborn enemy of the truth, 24 hinderer of good, transgressor, causing others to doubt, 25 Who had set up another god with God.

I had announced the promise of doom in advance. 28 and My word shall not be changed, nor am I unjust to My servants." 29
