Nothing Hidden
يَوۡمَئِذࣲ تُعۡرَضُونَ لَا تَخۡفَىٰ مِنكُمۡ خَافِيَةࣱ ١٨
On that day ye will be exposed; not a secret of you will be hidden.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
That Day you will be presented; no secret of yours will be hidden.
Insight
According to Elmalılı, “presentation” here is a figure for reckoning, like soldiers being presented to a ruler so he may see their condition.
Reflect
Correct a fault you hide today.
