This is the day of the promised chastisement. 20 And every soul will come, with it a driver and a witness. 21 (It will be said:) "Thou wast heedless of this; now have We removed thy veil, and sharp is thy sight this Day!" 22 His companion will say: "Here is (the record) I have ready with me." 23 Do cast into hell every ungrateful, rebellious one, 24 who hinders good, exceeds the limits, is immersed in doubts, 25 who has set up another god besides God: cast him into severe punishment" -- 26 ۞ And his companion shall say: 'Our Lord, I did not make him insolent, he was far astray' 27 [And] He will say: "Contend not before Me, [O you sinners,] for I gave you a forewarning [of this Day of Reckoning]. 28 No word is to be exchanged in My presence. I am not unjust to My servants". 29
