The Snatchers (Al-Naze'aat)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
By the pluckers (the angels of death), violently plucking (the souls of the unbelievers), 1 and those that draw out violently, 2 by those that swim serenely 3 Then those who are foremost going ahead, 4 by the managers (angels) affair. 5 The day on which the quaking one shall quake, 6 and will be followed by the second one, 7 Many a heart will flutter on that day! 8 and their eyes shall be downcast with dread. 9 They say: shall we indeed be restored to the first state, 10 “When we have become decayed bones?” 11 They will say: 'Then we are returned lost' 12 However, it will only take a single blast 13 and behold! They will all come out in the open. 14 HAS THE STORY of Moses ever come within thy ken. 15 when his Lord called him in the holy valley of Tuwa, 16 and directed him: “Go to Pharaoh, he has rebelled, 17 And say to him: "Would you purify yourself (from the sin of disbelief by becoming a believer)", 18 I shall guide you to your Lord so that you may perhaps have fear of Him". 19 So Moosa showed him a magnificent sign. 20 But Pharaoh denied and disobeyed. 21 Then he turned away, deliberating, 22 then he mustered 23 and proclaimed, "I am your supreme Lord," 24 So Allah seized him with the punishment of the hereafter and the former life. 25 Truly there is a lesson in this for those who fear (the consequences). 26
