The Hidden Secret (Al-Muddath-thir)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
O the Cloaked One! (Prophet Mohammed – peace and blessings be upon him) 1 Arise and warn! 2 Thy Lord magnify, 3 Purify your inner self, 4 And pollution shun. 5 and do not think that by doing such deeds, you have done a great favor to God. 6 but unto thy Sustainer turn in patience. 7 For when the trumpet shall sound, 8 it will be a hard day 9 Not of ease, for disbelievers. 10 Leave Me alone with he whom I created 11 and appointed for him ample wealth 12 And sons always present by his side, 13 And made several preparations for him. 14 Yet he desireth that I should give 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 thought and plotted; 18 So accursed be he, how evilly did he decide! 19 What an evil plan he has made! 20 He looked (at others); 21 Then frowned and grimaced. 22 then he retreated and waxed proud, 23 and said: “This (Qur'an) is merely a sorcery of yore; 24 This is naught else than speech of mortal man. 25 I will soon fling him into hell. 26 What do you think Hell-fire is? 27 It neither spares, nor releases, 28 it scorches the skin; 29 Over it are appointed nineteen. 30 And We have appointed none but the angels to be wardens of the Fire. And their number we have made only a trial for those who disbelieve, so that those who are vouchsafed the Book may be convinced, and that those who believe may increase in faith, and that those who are vouchsafed the Book and the believers may not doubt, and that those in whose hearts is a disease and the infidels may say: what meaneth Allah by this description! In this wise Allah sendeth astray whomsoever He will, and guideth whomsoever He will. And none knoweth the hosts of thy Lord but He. And it is naught but an admonition unto man. 31
