This is what you wished to avert. 19 And the trumpet is blown. This is the threatened Day. 20 Each soul shall come with a driver, and a witness. 21 Certainly you were heedless of it, but now We have removed from you your veil, so your sight today is sharp. 22 His companion attendant will say, "I have here his record ready." 23 (It will be said): 'Indeed, cast into Gehenna (Hell) every deviating unbeliever, 24 Forbidder of good, exceeder of limits, doubter, 25 who has set up another deity beside God: cast him, then, cast him into suffering severe!" 26 ۞ His companion will say: Our Lord! I did not lead him into inordinacy but he himself was in a great error. 27 [And] He will say: "Contend not before Me, [O you sinners,] for I gave you a forewarning [of this Day of Reckoning]. 28 and My word shall not be changed, nor am I unjust to My servants." 29
