This is the day of the promised chastisement. 20 Everyone has come, each attended by one who will drive him on, and another who will bear witness. 21 You were heedless of this, but now We have removed your veil, so your sight today is sharp. 22 And his Companion will say: "Here is (his Record) ready with me!" 23 (It will be said): 'Indeed, cast into Gehenna (Hell) every deviating unbeliever, 24 hinderer of good, transgressor, causing others to doubt, 25 who has set up another god besides God: cast him into severe punishment" -- 26 ۞ And his comrade shall say, 'Our Lord, I made him not insolent, but he was in far error.' 27 He will say: Do not quarrel in My presence, and indeed I gave you the threatening beforehand: 28 “With Me, the decree does not change, and nor do I oppress the bondmen.” 29
