The Snatchers (Al-Naze'aat)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
By those who drag forth to destruction, 1 By those (angels) who gently take out (the souls of the believers); 2 And those who glide swimmingly, 3 by those that outstrip them suddenly, 4 and by those who regulate events. 5 On the Day, the shiverer shivers 6 And the second followeth it, 7 On that Day will [men's] hearts be throbbing, 8 while eyes will be downcast. 9 They say: Shall we indeed be restored to (our) first state? 10 “When we have become decayed bones?” 11 They shall say, 'That then were a losing return!' 12 Indeed, it will be but one shout, 13 and then, lo, they will be fully awakened [to the truth]! 14 Did the news of Moosa reach you? 15 when his Lord called him in the holy valley of Tuwa, 16 "Go to Pharaoh. Indeed, he has transgressed. 17 and say [unto him,] 'Art thou desirous of attaining to purity? 18 and that I should guide thee to thy Lord, then thou shalt fear?"' 19 So he showed him the mighty sign. 20 but he denied it as false and disobeyed, 21 Then he went back hastily. 22 And he gathered [his people] and called out 23 Saying: "I am your lord, most high", 24 So Allah seized him with the punishment of the hereafter and the former life. 25 In this, behold, there is a lesson indeed for all who stand in awe [of God]. 26
