The Hidden Secret (Al-Muddath-thir)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
O you (Muhammad SAW) enveloped (in garments)! 1 arise and give warning! 2 And proclaim the Purity of your Lord. 3 and purify your clothing, 4 And stay away from idols. 5 Nor expect, in giving, any increase (for thyself)! 6 Exercise patience to please your Lord. 7 When the Trumpet shall be sounded, 8 that shall be a Harsh Day 9 Not of ease, for disbelievers. 10 Leave Me alone [to deal] with him whom I have created alone, 11 And gave him vast wealth. 12 And sons present by his side. 13 I made things smooth and easy for him, 14 and who still desires more. 15 By no means! He has been stubbornly hostile to Our revelation: 16 On him I shall impose a fearful doom. 17 For lo! he did consider; then he planned - 18 (Self-)destroyed is he, how he planned! 19 Yea, Woe to him; How he plotted!- 20 Then he beheld, 21 and then he frowns and glares, 22 Then he turned away, and was haughty. 23 Then he said: naught is this but magic from of old; 24 This is nothing but the word of mortal man!" 25 Him shall I soon roast in Hell. 26 What do you think Hell-fire is? 27 It lets nothing remain and leaves nothing [unburned], 28 making [all truth] visible to mortal man. 29 Over it are appointed nineteen. 30 And We have set none but angels as guardians of the Fire, and We have fixed their number (19) only as a trial for the disbelievers, in order that the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians) may arrive at a certainty [that this Quran is the truth as it agrees with their Books i.e. their number (19) is written in the Taurat (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel)] and the believers may increase in Faith (as this Quran is the truth) and that no doubts may be left for the people of the Scripture and the believers, and that those in whose hearts is a disease (of hypocrisy) and the disbelievers may say: "What Allah intends by this (curious) example?" Thus Allah leads astray whom He wills and guides whom He wills. And none can know the hosts of your Lord but He. And this (Hell) is nothing else than a (warning) reminder to mankind. 31
