(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 threatening. 20 Each person will arrive attended by an [angel] to drive him on and another to bear witness. 21 “You were indeed neglectful of this, so We have removed the veil for you, and your eyesight is sharp this day.” 22 And his companion, [the angel], will say, "This [record] is what is with me, prepared." 23 (They will be told,) "Throw into hell every persistent disbelievers, 24 who hinders good, exceeds the limits, is immersed in doubts, 25 "Who set up another god beside Allah: Throw him into a severe penalty." 26 ۞ Man's other self' will say: "O our Sustainer! It was not I that led his conscious mind into evil [nay,] but it had gone far astray [of its own accord]! 27 He will say: Do not quarrel in My presence, and indeed I gave you the threatening beforehand: 28 The judgment passed by Me shall not be altered; but never do I do the least wrong unto My creatures!" 29
