That is what you had sought to avoid. 19 And the Trumpet was blown; “This is the Day of the promised punishment.” 20 And every soul came, along with a herder and a witness. 21 (It will be said): 'Of this you have been heedless. Therefore, we have now removed your covering. Today your sight is sharp' 22 And his companion, [the angel], will say, "This [record] is what is with me, prepared." 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 deity beside God: cast him, then, cast him into suffering severe!" 26 ۞ His companion will say: "O Lord, I did not lead him to wickedness, but he was himself far astray." 27 The Lord will say, "Do not argue in My presence; I had certainly sent you a warning. 28 There is no changing of My word, nor am I unjust to My creatures." 29
