This is the Day [you were] warned of. 20 Each person will arrive attended by an [angel] to drive him on and another to bear witness. 21 You were heedless of this, but now We have removed your veil, so your sight today is sharp. 22 His companion will say: "Here is (the record) I have ready with me." 23 "Cast each stubborn unbeliever into Hell," (they will be told), 24 every hinderer of the good, transgressor, disquieter, 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 He (Allah) will say: 'Do not dispute before Me. I sent you a warning beforehand. 28 "The Word changes not before Me, and I do not the least injustice to My Servants." 29
