Therefore, we have now removed your covering. Today your sight is sharp' 22 His companion will say: "Here is (the record) I have ready with me." 23 [Whereupon God will command:] "Cast, cast into hell every [such] stubborn enemy of the truth, 24 who is an opponent of good, a suspicious transgressor 25 "Who set up another ilah (god) with Allah, then (both of you) cast him in the severe torment." 26 ۞ His companion will say: "O Lord, I did not lead him to wickedness, but he was himself 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 and My word shall not be changed, nor am I unjust to My servants." 29
