The Snatchers (Al-Naze'aat)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
By those [angels] who extract with violence 1 By the meteors rushing, 2 By the lone stars floating, 3 and the outstrippers (angels), outstripping, 4 And who plan the implementation. 5 On the day when the first trump resoundeth. 6 And the second followeth it, 7 Hearts will pound loudly on that day, 8 and eyes will be humbly cast down. 9 They say: 'What, are we being restored as we were before, 10 What, when we are bones old and wasted?' 11 They say: "It would, in that case, be a return with loss!" 12 It will be only one scaring shout, 13 and they will be upon the surface of the earth (alive). 14 Have you received the story of Moses? 15 When his Lord called him in the sacred valley of Tuwa, 16 and directed him: “Go to Pharaoh, he has rebelled, 17 “Tell him ‘Do you have the inclination to become pure?’ 18 And that I guide you to your Lord, so you should fear Him? 19 Then he shewed him the great sign. 20 But (Pharaoh) rejected it and disobeyed (guidance); 21 Then he turned his back, striving. 22 then he mustered 23 And proclaimed: "I (Pharaoh) am your Lord the Highest." 24 But Allah did punish him, (and made an) example of him, - in the Hereafter, as in this life. 25 Lo! herein is indeed a lesson for him who feareth. 26
