The Hidden Secret (Al-Muddath-thir)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
O the Cloaked One! (Prophet Mohammed – peace and blessings be upon him) 1 Rise up and warn! 2 And thy Lord do thou magnify! 3 and purify your robes, 4 And keep away from Ar-Rujz (the idols)! 5 And do not confer favor to acquire more 6 But for your Lord be patient. 7 For when the Trump is sounded 8 that Day will be a hard and distressing Day. 9 For the disbelievers - not easy. 10 Leave Me with him whom I created alone, 11 To whom I granted resources in abundance, 12 And sons always present by his side, 13 whose life I have made run smoothly 14 And yet he desires that I should add more! 15 By no means! He has been stubbornly hostile to Our revelation: 16 I will constrain him to a hard ascent. 17 Verily he considered, and devised. 18 and thus he destroys himself, the way he meditates: 19 Then may he be destroyed [for] how he deliberated. 20 Then he beheld, 21 then he frowned, and scowled, 22 Then he turned back and was haughty; 23 And said, "This is not but magic imitated [from others]. 24 This is nothing but the word of mortal man!" 25 I will soon fling him into hell. 26 - Ah, what will convey unto thee what that burning is! - 27 It does not allow to live, and neither leaves [to die,] 28 scorching the flesh; 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
