This is the threatened Day. 20 Everyone has come, each attended by one who will drive him on, and another who will bear witness. 21 (He will be told), "You were completely heedless of this day. We have removed the veil from your eyes and your vision will now be sharp and strong". 22 And his companion will say: this is that which with me is ready. 23 Do cast into hell every ungrateful, rebellious one, 24 Preventer of good, aggressor, and doubter, 25 Who sets up another god with Allah, so do cast him into severe chastisement. 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
