The Hidden Secret (Al-Muddath-thir)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
O you who are clothed! 1 Arise and warn 2 And thy Sustainer's greatness glorify! 3 and purify your robes, 4 and shun uncleanness, 5 And bestow not favors that you may receive again with increase, 6 and persevere for your Lord's sake. 7 When the Horn is blown, 8 Truly, that Day will be a Hard Day. 9 Not of ease, for disbelievers. 10 Leave Me Alone (to deal) with whom I created Alone (without any means, i.e. Al-Walid bin Al-Mughirah Al-Makhzumi)! 11 And then bestowed upon him ample means, 12 and children as [love's] witnesses, 13 I made things smooth and easy for him, 14 and yet, he greedily desires that I give him even more! 15 Never! For he is an enemy to Our signs! 16 I will cover him with arduous torment. 17 Indeed he thought, and inwardly decided. 18 (Self-)destroyed is he, how he planned! 19 Let him be destroyed. How he calculated! 20 Then he looked round; 21 And frowned and puckered his brow, 22 Then he turned back and was haughty; 23 said, "This (the Quran) is nothing but magic, inherited from ancient magicians. 24 This is nothing but the word of mortal man!" 25 I will drive him into Saqar. 26 And what can make you know what is Saqar? 27 It shall not spare, nor leave. 28 It glows and burns the skin. 29 over it are nineteen. 30 We have not appointed any one but angels as keepers of Hell, and their number that We have fixed is to make it a means of contention for disbelievers, so that those who were given the Book may be certain, and the faith of the believers may have greater increase, and the people of the Book and believers may not be deceived, and the sceptics and infidels may say: "What does God mean by this parable?" That is how God leads whosoever He will astray, and guides whosoever He will. None knows the armies of your Lord save Him self. This is no more than reminder for mankind. 31
