The Hidden Secret (Al-Muddath-thir)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
O you (Muhammad SAW) enveloped (in garments)! 1 Arise and warn! 2 And thine Lord magnify! 3 And keep your clothes clean. 4 And uncleanliness avoid 5 Give not, thinking to gain greater 6 And be patient for the sake of your Lord (i.e. perform your duty to Allah)! 7 So when the Trumpet will be blown. 8 that day will be a harsh day, 9 Far from easy for those without Faith. 10 Leave Me with him whom I created alone, 11 and appointed for him ample wealth 12 And sons present by his side. 13 And made several preparations for him. 14 and yet, he greedily desires that I give him even more! 15 By no means! He has been stubbornly hostile to Our revelation: 16 Anon I shall afflict him with a fearful woe. 17 Indeed he thought, and inwardly decided. 18 May he be accursed, how he planned! 19 And once more let him be cursed, how he plotted! 20 Then he looked around, 21 Then he frowned and scowled, 22 and he turned his back and behaved arrogantly 23 Then he said: "This is nothing but magic from that of old; 24 This is naught else than speech of mortal man. 25 Him shall I fling unto the burning. 26 And what will make you know exactly what Hell-fire is? 27 It neither spares, nor releases, 28 It scorches the mortal. 29 there are nineteen [angels] in charge of it -- 30 And We have not made the keepers of the Fire except angels. And We have not made their number except as a trial for those who disbelieve - that those who were given the Scripture will be convinced and those who have believed will increase in faith and those who were given the Scripture and the believers will not doubt and that those in whose hearts is hypocrisy and the disbelievers will say, "What does Allah intend by this as an example?" Thus does Allah leave astray whom He wills and guides whom He wills. And none knows the soldiers of your Lord except Him. And mention of the Fire is not but a reminder to humanity. 31
