The Snatchers (Al-Naze'aat)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
By those that pluck out vehemently 1 By the meteors rushing, 2 by those that swim serenely 3 And who quickly present themselves. 4 and by those who regulate events. 5 On the Day, the shiverer shivers 6 to be followed by further [convulsions], 7 On that Day will [men's] hearts be throbbing, 8 Their eyes humbled. 9 The disbelievers say, “Will we really return to our former state?” 10 after we have become bones and dust?" 11 They have said, "Such a resurrection will certainly be a great loss". 12 Surely it will need but one shout, 13 and they will be upon the surface of the earth (alive). 14 Hast thou received the story of Moses? 15 When his Lord called upon him in the holy valley, twice, 16 [saying], "Go to Pharaoh, he has exceeded all bounds, 17 Then say: Have you (a desire) to purify yourself: 18 [If so,] then I shall guide thee towards [a cognition of] thy Sustainer, so that [henceforth] thou wilt stand in awe [of Him].'" 19 Then did (Moses) show him the Great Sign. 20 but he denied it and refused [the faith]. 21 Then he went back hastily. 22 Then he gathered and cried aloud, 23 And then said, “I am your most supreme lord.” 24 So Allah seized him with the punishment of the hereafter and the former life. 25 Verily herein is lesson for him who feareth. 26
