Therefore, we have now removed your covering. Today your sight is sharp' 22 And his comrade shall say, 'This is what I have, made ready.' 23 The command was given: “Cast into Hell every hardened, stubborn unbeliever, 24 "Every obstructor of good, transgressor, and the sceptic, 25 who has set up another god besides God: cast him into severe punishment" -- 26 ۞ His satanic companion will say, "Our Lord, I did not mislead him, but he himself went astray". 27 [Allah] will say, "Do not dispute before Me, while I had already presented to you the warning. 28 The Word is not changed with Me; I wrong not My servants.' 29
