The Hidden Secret (Al-Muddath-thir)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
O you (Prophet Muhamad), the cloaked, 1 Arise and warn 2 And thy Sustainer's greatness glorify! 3 And thy garments keep free from stain! 4 And keep away from Ar-Rujz (the idols)! 5 And show not favour, seeking wordly gain! 6 For the sake of thy Lord, be patient! 7 Then when the horn shall be blown, 8 that day will be a harsh day, 9 Far from easy for those without Faith. 10 LEAVE Me alone [to deal] with him whom I have created alone, 11 And gave him abundant wealth 12 And gave him sons present before him. 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 Anon I shall afflict him with a fearful woe. 17 Lo! He reflected, and determined -- 18 May he be condemned! 19 What an evil plan he has made! 20 May he be condemned again for his schemes! He looked around, 21 then he frowned and scowled, 22 and in the end he turns his back [on Our message,] and glories in his arrogance, 23 and said: 'This is no more than traced sorcery; 24 This is nothing but the word of mortal man!" 25 I shall surely roast him in Sakar; 26 What will let you know what the Scorching is like! 27 It neither leaves, nor spares. 28 it scorches the skin; 29 over it are nineteen. 30 We have appointed only angels to be wardens of the Fire, and their number have We made to be a stumbling-block for those who disbelieve; that those to whom the Scripture hath been given may have certainty, and that believers may increase in faith; and that those to whom the Scripture hath been given and believers may not doubt; and that those in whose hearts there is disease, and disbelievers, may say: What meaneth Allah by this similitude? Thus Allah sendeth astray whom He will, and whom He will He guideth. None knoweth the hosts of thy Lord save Him. This is naught else than a Reminder unto mortals. 31
