This is the day of the promised chastisement. 20 Each soul shall come with a driver, and a 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 His companion said: “Here is he who was in my charge.” 23 (They will be told,) "Throw into hell every persistent disbelievers, 24 "Every obstructor of good, transgressor, and the sceptic, 25 who set up with God another god; therefore, you twain, cast him into the terrible chastisement.' 26 ۞ His companion said: “I did not incite him to rebel; he was far gone into error of his own accord.” 27 He will say, “Do not dispute before Me – I had already warned you of the punishment.” 28 The Sentence that comes from Me cannot be changed, and I am not unjust (to the least) to the slaves." 29
