The Hidden Secret (Al-Muddath-thir)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
O thou enveloped in thy cloak, 1 arise and warn, 2 And proclaim the Purity of your Lord. 3 and purify your clothing, 4 And all abomination shun! 5 And do not through giving seek thyself to gain, 6 For the sake of thy Lord, be patient! 7 Then when the horn shall be blown, 8 That, at that time, shall be a difficult day, 9 For the disbelievers - not easy. 10 Leave Me (to deal) with him whom I created lonely, 11 And then granted him resources in abundance. 12 And sons dwelling in his presence, 13 and for whom I have smoothed the way (to power and riches), 14 then he is eager that I should do more. 15 No! Indeed, he has been toward Our verses obstinate. 16 Soon I shall mount him on Saood, the hill of fire. 17 Verily he considered, and devised. 18 So let him be cursed! How he plotted! 19 Again accursed be he, how evilly did he decide! 20 Then he considered [again]; 21 and then he frowns and glares, 22 Then turned he back, and grew stiff-necked. 23 Then he said: This is naught but enchantment, narrated (from others); 24 This is nothing but the word of a mortal!" 25 I will surely roast him in the Scorching. 26 And what do you know what Hell is? 27 It leaves and spares no one and nothing. 28 and it burns the flesh. 29 Over it are nineteen keepers. 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
