That is what you had sought to avoid. 19 And then the Trumpet was blown. This is the day of the promised chastisement. 20 Everyone has come, each attended by one who will drive him on, and another who will bear witness. 21 [and will be told:] "Indeed, unmindful hast thou been of this [Day of Judgment]; but now We have lifted from thee thy veil, and sharp is thy sight today!" 22 And one part of him will say: "This it is that has been ever-present with me!" 23 (It will be said): 'Indeed, cast into Gehenna (Hell) every deviating unbeliever, 24 hinderer of good, transgressor, causing others to doubt, 25 Who setteth up another god along with Allah. Do ye twain hurl him to the dreadful doom. 26 ۞ Man's other self' will say: "O our Sustainer!
