The Hidden Secret (Al-Muddath-thir)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
O the Cloaked One! (Prophet Mohammed – peace and blessings be upon him) 1 Arise and warn! 2 And thine Lord magnify! 3 thy robes purify 4 And pollution shun. 5 Do not give, thinking to gain greater 6 But for your Lord be patient. 7 For when the trumpet shall sound, 8 It will be a day of distress, 9 and for the disbelievers, in particular, it will not be at all easy. 10 LEAVE Me alone [to deal] with him whom I have created alone, 11 and to whom I have granted resources in abundance, 12 and children as [love's] witnesses, 13 And spread [everything] before him, easing [his life]. 14 And yet he desires that I should add more! 15 Never. He is refractory of Our signs. 16 and I shall constrain him to a hard ascent. 17 He reflected, and then determined 18 So let him be cursed! How he plotted! 19 Again, death seized him, how was his determining! 20 Then he looked round; 21 Then frowned he and showed displeasure. 22 Then he turned away, and was haughty. 23 He said, 'This is naught but a trumped-up sorcery; 24 Naught is this but the word of Man. 25 Soon I will cast him into hell. 26 Would that you really knew what hell is! 27 It leaves and spares no one and nothing. 28 It glows and burns the skin. 29 and it has nineteen angelic keepers. 30 We have appointed none but angels to guard the Fire, and made their number only as a trial for the unbelievers, so that those to whom the Book was given are certain and those who believe increase in belief. And that those who were given the Book, and those who believe will not be in doubt. And that those in whose hearts there is a sickness, together with the unbelievers, may say: 'What did Allah intend by this as an example' As such, Allah leaves in error whom He will and He guides whomsoever He will. None knows the hosts of your Lord except He. This is no more than a Reminder to humans. 31
