That is the Day of [carrying out] the threat. 20 And every soul shall come, and with it a driver and a witness. 21 [It will be said], "You were certainly in unmindfulness of this, and We have removed from you your cover, so your sight, this Day, is sharp." 22 And his companions shall say: This is what is ready with me. 23 Cast ye twain into Hell every person rebellious, contumacious. 24 "Every obstructor of good, transgressor, and the sceptic, 25 who has set up another god besides God: cast him into severe punishment" -- 26 ۞ and his associate [Satan] will say, "Lord, I did not make him transgress, he had already gone far astray himself." 27 "Do not argue in My presence. I had announced the promise of doom in advance. 28 My Word is not changed; and never do I inflict the least wrong upon My servants.” 29
