The Snatchers (Al-Naze'aat)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
By those [angels] who extract with violence 1 And by those who gently draw out the souls of the blessed, 2 And who glide with ease. 3 and the outstrippers (angels), outstripping, 4 and thus they fulfil the [Creator's] behest! 5 One Day everything that can be in commotion will be in violent commotion, 6 The second blowing of the Trumpet follows it (and everybody will be raised up), 7 Many a heart will flutter on that day! 8 and eyes will be humbly cast down. 9 They say: “Shall we indeed be restored to life, 10 When we have become bones decayed! 11 They shall say, 'That then were a losing return!' 12 [But,] then, that [Last Hour] will be [upon them of a sudden, as if it were] but a single accusing cry 13 and then, lo, they will be fully awakened [to the truth]! 14 (Muhammad), have you heard the story of Moses 15 Lo! His Sustainer called out to him in the twice-hallowed valley: 16 Go to Firon, surely he has become inordinate. 17 Then say: Have you (a desire) to purify yourself: 18 Then I will guide thee to thy Lord and thou shalt fear (Him). 19 So he showed him the mighty sign. 20 Yet he belied and disobeyed. 21 He then turned away, striving in his effort. 22 then, he gathered, proclaimed, 23 And then said, “I am your most supreme lord.” 24 you pay attention 25 Surely there is a great lesson in it for whoever would fear (Allah). 26
