(And it is said unto him): This is that which thou wast wont to shun. 19 And the Trumpet shall be blown; that is the Day of the Threat. 20 Each person will arrive attended by an [angel] to drive him on and another to bear witness. 21 Certainly you were heedless of it, but now We have removed from you your veil, so your sight today is sharp. 22 And one part of him will say: "This it is that has been ever-present with me!" 23 [Whereupon God will command:] "Cast, cast into hell every [such] stubborn enemy of the truth, 24 every hinderer of the good, transgressor, disquieter, 25 Who set up with Allah another god.
