The Snatchers (Al-Naze'aat)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
By [the winds] that pluck out vehemently 1 and gently take it away; 2 And [by] those who glide [as if] swimming 3 And who quickly present themselves. 4 and by those who regulate events. 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 upon that day shall be athrob 8 While eyes are downcast 9 They say, "What? shall we be brought back to life, 10 Even if we should be decayed bones? 11 They shall say, 'That then were a losing return!' 12 But it shall be only a single cry, 13 And lo! they will be awakened. 14 (Muhammad), have you heard the story of Moses 15 When his Lord called upon him in the holy valley, twice, 16 "Go to Pharaoh. Indeed, he has transgressed. 17 and say: "Will you purify yourself, 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 and hastily turned away, 22 and gathered his people and declared: 23 And proclaimed: "I (Pharaoh) am your Lord the Highest." 24 So Allah, seized him with punishment for his last [i.e. his saying: "I am your lord, most high") (see Verse 79:24)] and first [(i.e. his saying, "O chiefs! I know not that you have a god other than I" (see Verse 28:38)] transgression. 25 Verily herein is lesson for him who feareth. 26
