The Hidden Secret (Al-Muddath-thir)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
O the Cloaked One! (Prophet Mohammed – peace and blessings be upon him) 1 arise, and warn! 2 proclaim the greatness of your Lord, 3 purify your garments; 4 And uncleanliness avoid 5 Give not, thinking to gain greater 6 But, for thy Lord's (Cause), be patient and constant! 7 When the Horn is blown, 8 That, at that time, shall be a difficult day, 9 Not easy upon the disbelievers. 10 Leave Me alone with he whom I created 11 and to whom I have granted resources vast, 12 And gave him sons present before him. 13 And made life smooth and comfortable for him! 14 Yet he desireth that I should give more. 15 Never. He is refractory of Our signs. 16 and I shall constrain him to a hard ascent. 17 For lo! he did consider; then he planned - 18 So may he be destroyed [for] how he deliberated. 19 And once more let him be cursed, how he plotted! 20 He looked (at others); 21 Then frowned and grimaced. 22 Then he turned back and was haughty; 23 and says, "All this is mere spellbinding eloquence handed down [from olden times]! 24 This is nothing but the word of mortal man!" 25 Anon shall I roast him into the Scorching Fire. 26 Would that you really knew what hell is! 27 It does not allow to live, and neither leaves [to die,] 28 it scorches (even) the skin. 29 Over it are Nineteen. 30 We have appointed only angels to be masters of the Fire, and their number We have appointed only as a trial for the unbelievers, that those who were given the Book may have certainty, and that those who believe may increase in belief, and that those who were given the Book and those who believe may not be in-doubt, and that those in whose hearts there is sickness, and the unbelievers, may say, 'What did God intend by this as a similitude?' So God leads astray whomsoever He will, and He guides whomsoever He will; and none knows the hosts of thy Lord but He. And it is naught but a Reminder to mortals. 31
