That is the Straight Way.” 64 But the sects from among themselves differed. So woe to those who do wrong (by ascribing things to 'Iesa (Jesus) that are not true) from the torment of a painful Day (i.e. the Day of Resurrection)! 65 Are they looking for aught but the Hour, that it shall come upon them suddenly, when they are not aware? 66 On that Day, friends will become each other's enemies, except the righteous -- 67
