The Snatchers (Al-Naze'aat)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
By those that pluck out vehemently 1 and those that draw out violently, 2 and by [the clouds] that swim serenely and 3 and the outstrippers (angels), outstripping, 4 by the managers (angels) affair. 5 One Day everything that can be in commotion will be in violent commotion, 6 Followed by the second blast, 7 hearts will be throbbing, 8 and their eyes will be humbled. 9 They shall say, 'What, are we being restored as we were before? 10 After having turned to carious bones?" 11 They say: "It would in that case, be a return with loss!" 12 However, it will only take a single blast 13 and behold! They will all come out in the open. 14 Has there come to you the story of Musa (Moses)? 15 when his Lord called him in the holy valley of Tuwa, 16 That “Go to Firaun – he has rebelled.” 17 “Tell him ‘Do you have the inclination to become pure?’ 18 And I will guide you to your Lord so that you should fear. 19 So he showed him the great sign, 20 But (Pharaoh) rejected it and disobeyed (guidance); 21 Then he went back hastily. 22 and then he gathered [his great ones,] and called [unto his people,] 23 then said: 'I am your lord, the most high' 24 So Allah seized him in exemplary punishment for the last and the first [transgression]. 25 In this, behold, there is a lesson indeed for all who stand in awe [of God]. 26
