The Snatchers (Al-Naze'aat)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
By [the winds] that pluck out vehemently 1 And by those who gently draw out the souls of the blessed, 2 and by those that speedily glide along (the cosmos), 3 by those that outstrip them suddenly, 4 Then those who regulate the affair. 5 One Day everything that can be in commotion will be in violent commotion, 6 And there will follow it the next blast. 7 hearts will undergo terrible trembling, 8 Their eyes humbled. 9 They shall say, 'What, are we being restored as we were before? 10 What! when we are rotten bones? 11 They shall say, 'That then were a losing return!' 12 It will be only one scaring shout, 13 and then, lo, they will be fully awakened [to the truth]! 14 Has there come to you the story of Musa (Moses)? 15 His Lord called out to him by the sacred valley of Tuwa: 16 (Saying:) Go thou unto Pharaoh - Lo! he hath rebelled - 17 And say to him, 'Would you [be willing to] purify yourself 18 And I may guide you to your Lord, so that you may fear.'" 19 So Moosa showed him a magnificent sign. 20 Yet he belied and disobeyed. 21 Then he turned his back, striving. 22 Then gathered he and summoned 23 Saying: "I am your lord, most high", 24 So Allah seized him with the punishment of the Everlasting Life, and of this world. 25 Indeed in that is a warning for whoever would fear [Allah]. 26
