The Hidden Secret (Al-Muddath-thir)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
O you who are clothed! 1 Arise and warn! 2 And thy Sustainer's greatness glorify! 3 and purify your robes, 4 And keep away from Ar-Rujz (the idols)! 5 And do not confer favor to acquire more 6 For the sake of thy Lord, be patient! 7 When the trumpet is sounded,. 8 Truly, that Day will be a Hard Day. 9 for the unbelievers not easy. 10 Leave Me and him whom I created alone, 11 and to whom I have granted resources vast, 12 And sons abiding in his presence 13 And made several preparations for him. 14 And yet he desires that I should add more! 15 Nay! For lo! he hath been stubborn to Our revelations. 16 I shall soon constrain him to a hard ascent. 17 Indeed, he thought and deliberated. 18 And woe to him! How he plotted!- 19 And once more let him be cursed, how he plotted! 20 Then he looked, 21 then frowned and scowled; 22 Then turned his back and waxed proud, 23 And said, "This is not but magic imitated [from others]. 24 This is not but the word of a human being." 25 Soon will I cast him into Hell-Fire! 26 What will let you know what the Scorching is like! 27 It does not allow to live, and neither leaves [to die,] 28 and it burns the flesh. 29 over it are nineteen. 30 We have appointed only angels to be wardens of the Fire, and their number have We made to be a stumbling-block for those who disbelieve; that those to whom the Scripture hath been given may have certainty, and that believers may increase in faith; and that those to whom the Scripture hath been given and believers may not doubt; and that those in whose hearts there is disease, and disbelievers, may say: What meaneth Allah by this similitude? Thus Allah sendeth astray whom He will, and whom He will He guideth. None knoweth the hosts of thy Lord save Him. This is naught else than a Reminder unto mortals. 31
