"Instead of Allâh, and lead them on to the way of flaming Fire (Hell); 24. "But stop them, verily they are to be questioned. 25. "What is the matter with you? Why do you not help one another (as you used to do in the world)?" 26. Nay, but that Day they shall surrender. 27. And they will turn to one another and question one another. 28. They will say: "It was you who used to come to us from the right side [i.e. from the right side of one of us and beautify for us every evil, enjoin on us polytheism, and stop us from the truth i.e. Islâmic Monotheism and from every good deed]." 29.

And you will be requited nothing except for what you used to do (evil deeds, sins, and Allâh’s disobedience which you used to do in this world)
