The Hidden Secret (Al-Muddath-thir)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
O you (Prophet Muhamad), the cloaked, 1 Rise up and warn! 2 Glorify your Lord, 3 purify your garments; 4 and shun uncleanness, 5 And do not through giving seek thyself to gain, 6 For the sake of thy Lord, be patient! 7 For when the trumpet is sounded, 8 Truly, that Day will be a Hard Day. 9 Far from easy for the disbelievers. 10 Leave Me and him whom I created alone, 11 And for whom I appointed wealth extended. 12 And sons abiding in his presence 13 And spread [everything] before him, easing [his life]. 14 Then 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 Indeed he thought, and inwardly decided. 18 And woe to him! How he plotted!- 19 And again perish he! How maliciously he devised! 20 Then he looked, 21 Then he frowned and scowled; 22 Then he turned back and was big with pride, 23 And said: This is naught else than magic from of old; 24 "This is nothing but the word of a mortal!" 25 Soon will I cast him into Hell-Fire! 26 And what do you know what Hell is? 27 It lets nothing remain and leaves nothing [unburned], 28 it scorches (even) the skin. 29 Above it are nineteen. 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
