The Hidden Secret (Al-Muddath-thir)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
O you (Prophet Muhamad), the cloaked, 1 Arise and deliver thy warning! 2 And your Lord (Allah) magnify! 3 Purify your inner self, 4 And keep away from Ar-Rujz (the idols)! 5 and bestow not favour in order to seek from others a greater return, 6 And for the sake of your Lord, be patient. 7 When the Trumpet is sounded, 8 it will be a hard day 9 For the unbelievers, anything but easy. 10 LEAVE Me alone [to deal] with him whom I have created alone, 11 and designated for him ample wealth, 12 and children as [love's] witnesses, 13 To whom I made (life) smooth and comfortable! 14 And yet he desires that I should add more! 15 Not at all! Surely, he has been disobedient to Our verses. 16 Soon will I visit him with a mount of calamities! 17 For lo! he did consider; then he planned - 18 May he be condemned! 19 May be then be accursed, how he plotted! 20 Then he looked round; 21 then frowned and scowled; 22 then he retreated and waxed proud, 23 He said, 'This is naught but a trumped-up sorcery; 24 Naught is this but the word of Man. 25 I shall surely roast him in Sakar; 26 What do you think Hell-fire is? 27 It does not allow anyone to live, and neither does it leave anyone to die; 28 and it burns the flesh. 29 Over it are nineteen. 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
