The Hidden Secret (Al-Muddath-thir)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
O you (Prophet Muhamad), the cloaked, 1 Arise, and warn, 2 And thy Lord do thou magnify! 3 And your garments do purify, 4 And pollution shun. 5 And do not through giving seek thyself to gain, 6 But, for thy Lord's (Cause), be patient and constant! 7 When the Horn is blown, 8 that will surely be a hard day, 9 It will not be easy for those who deny the truth. 10 Let Me alone with him whom I created lonely. 11 and designated for him ample wealth, 12 And gave him sons present before him. 13 And spread [everything] before him, easing [his life]. 14 Yet he desireth that I should give more. 15 No! Indeed, he has been toward Our verses obstinate. 16 Soon will I visit him with a mount of calamities! 17 He reflected and then hatched a scheme. 18 Ruin seize him, how did he hatch a scheme? 19 May be then be accursed, how he plotted! 20 He looked (at others); 21 frowned and scowled, 22 Then he turned away, and was haughty. 23 and said: 'This is no more than traced sorcery; 24 "This is nothing but the word of a human being!" 25 I will surely roast him in the Scorching. 26 And what can make you know what is Saqar? 27 It leaves nothing, nor does it spare; 28 It glows and burns the skin. 29 Above it are nineteen. 30 We have not appointed any one but angels as keepers of Hell, and their number that We have fixed is to make it a means of contention for disbelievers, so that those who were given the Book may be certain, and the faith of the believers may have greater increase, and the people of the Book and believers may not be deceived, and the sceptics and infidels may say: "What does God mean by this parable?" That is how God leads whosoever He will astray, and guides whosoever He will. None knows the armies of your Lord save Him self. This is no more than reminder for mankind. 31
