The Hidden Secret (Al-Muddath-thir)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
O you (Prophet Muhamad), the cloaked, 1 arise, and warn! 2 And proclaim the Purity of your Lord. 3 purify your garments; 4 And uncleanliness avoid 5 And bestow not favors that you may receive again with increase, 6 Exercise patience to please your Lord. 7 For when the trumpet shall sound, 8 That shall be - that Day - a day hard. 9 for the unbelievers not easy. 10 Leave Me with him whom I alone have created, 11 And to whom I granted extensive wealth 12 And sons to be by his side!- 13 And I adjusted affairs for him adjustably; 14 and yet, he greedily desires that I give him even more! 15 Nay, verily, it is against Our messages that he knowingly, stubbornly sets himself 16 Anon I shall afflict him with a fearful woe. 17 He reflected, and then determined 18 (Self-)destroyed is he, how he planned! 19 yea, he destroys himself, the way he meditates! 20 Then looked he, 21 Then he frowned and he scowled; 22 then turned back, and swelling-up with pride, 23 Then he said: "This is nothing but magic from that of old; 24 This is naught but the word of a mortal. 25 Anon shall I roast him into the Scorching Fire. 26 What do you think Hell-fire is? 27 It does not allow to live, and neither leaves [to die,] 28 It glows and burns the skin. 29 Above it are nineteen guards. 30 We have appointed only angels to be masters of the Fire, and their number We have appointed only as a trial for the unbelievers, that those who were given the Book may have certainty, and that those who believe may increase in belief, and that those who were given the Book and those who believe may not be in-doubt, and that those in whose hearts there is sickness, and the unbelievers, may say, 'What did God intend by this as a similitude?' So God leads astray whomsoever He will, and He guides whomsoever He will; and none knows the hosts of thy Lord but He. And it is naught but a Reminder to mortals. 31
