The Snatchers (Al-Naze'aat)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
By those who drag forth to destruction, 1 And [by] those who remove with ease 2 By the angels who glide swimmingly, 3 Then outpace the others swiftly 4 by the managers (angels) affair. 5 The Day when the quaking will cause a violent convulsion, 6 to be followed by further [convulsions], 7 On that Day some hearts shall tremble (with fright), 8 and their eyes shall be humbled. 9 They say: shall we indeed be restored to the first state, 10 What! when we are rotten bones? 11 They say: "Then this returning will be a dead loss." 12 Indeed, it will be but one shout, 13 and then, lo, they will be fully awakened [to the truth]! 14 Has Moses' story reached you? 15 Behold, thy Lord did call to him in the sacred valley of Tuwa:- 16 Go to Fir'aun (Pharaoh), verily, he has transgressed all bounds (in crimes, sins, polytheism, disbelief, etc.). 17 Then say thou: wouldst thou to be purified? 18 And I will guide you to your Lord so that you should fear. 19 Then [Musa (Moses)] showed him the great sign (miracles). 20 but he cried lies, and rebelled, 21 Then he turned his back, striving. 22 Then gathered he and summoned 23 then said: 'I am your lord, the most high' 24 Wherefore Allah laid hold of him with the punishment of the Hereafter and of the present. 25 Verily herein is lesson for him who feareth. 26
