The Hidden Secret (Al-Muddath-thir)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
O the Cloaked One! (Prophet Mohammed – peace and blessings be upon him) 1 Arise and warn, 2 And your Lord glorify 3 And thy garments keep free from stain! 4 and flee from the statues! 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 Trump is sounded 8 It will be a day of distress, 9 Not easy upon the disbelievers. 10 Leave Me alone with he whom I created 11 and designated for him ample wealth, 12 and sons ever present with him, 13 And made (life) smooth for him. 14 and yet, he greedily desires that I give yet more! 15 Never will he receive more. He has been hostile to Our revelations. 16 I will make a distressing punishment overtake him. 17 Verily, he thought and plotted; 18 May he be accursed, how he planned! 19 Then may he be destroyed [for] how he deliberated. 20 Then he thought; 21 Then frowned he and scowled. 22 then he retreated and waxed proud, 23 Then he said: naught is this but magic from of old; 24 These are only words from a mere mortal". 25 I will surely roast him in the Scorching. 26 And what will make you realize what hell is? 27 It neither spares, nor releases, 28 Blackening the skins. 29 Above it are nineteen. 30 We have appointed none but angels as the keepers of the Fire, and We have not made their number but as a trial for the unbelievers so that those who have been endowed with the Book will be convinced and the believers' faith will increase, and neither those who have been endowed with the Book nor the believers will fall into any doubt. As for those in whose hearts there is a sickness as well as the unbelievers, they will say: “What did Allah aim at by this strange parable?” Thus does Allah let whomsoever He pleases to go astray, and directs whomsoever He pleases to the Right Way. And none knows the hosts of your Lord but He. (And Hell has only been mentioned here) that people may take heed. 31
