The Snatchers (Al-Naze'aat)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
I CALL TO WITNESS those who dive and drag, 1 and those that blow gently, 2 by the angels who float (in the heavens by the will of God), 3 By the angels hastening, 4 And those who arrange [each] matter, 5 The day on which the quaking one shall quake, 6 to be followed by further [convulsions]! 7 hearts will throb on that Day 8 Eyes be lowered in submission. 9 They say (now): "What! shall we indeed be returned to (our) former state? 10 “When we have become decayed bones?” 11 [And] they add, "That, then, would be a return with loss!" 12 But it shall be only a single scare, 13 and behold, they are awakened. 14 Did the news of Moosa reach you? 15 Behold, thy Lord did call to him in the sacred valley of Tuwa:- 16 saying 'Go to Pharaoh, he has become exceedingly insolent, 17 And say to him, 'Would you [be willing to] purify yourself 18 that I might guide you to your Lord, so that you fear (Him)." 19 Then did (Moses) show him the Great Sign. 20 But [Fir'aun (Pharaoh)] belied and disobeyed; 21 and brusquely turned his back [on Moses]; 22 then he mustered 23 and said, "I am your Lord All-Highest!" 24 you pay attention 25 Indeed in that is a warning for whoever would fear [Allah]. 26
