The Snatchers (Al-Naze'aat)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
I CALL TO WITNESS those who dive and drag, 1 By the meteors rushing, 2 And [by] those who glide [as if] swimming 3 And then they speed with foremost speed. 4 And by those angels who arrange to do the Commands of their Lord, (so verily, you disbelievers will be called to account). 5 A Day shall come whereon the quaking will quake, 6 and will be followed by the second one, 7 Hearts on that day shall palpitate, 8 Their eyes cast down. 9 The disbelievers say, “Will we really return to our former state?” 10 When we have become bones decayed! 11 They say: "It would in that case, be a return with loss!" 12 But all it will take is a single blast, 13 And suddenly they will be [alert] upon the earth's surface. 14 Hath there come unto thee the story of Musa! 15 His Lord called out to him by the sacred valley of Tuwa: 16 Saying: go thou unto Fir'awn; verily he hath waxen exorbitant. 17 “Tell him ‘Do you have the inclination to become pure?’ 18 Do you want me to guide you to your Lord, so that you should fear Him?'" 19 Then did (Moses) show him the Great Sign. 20 but he cried lies, and rebelled, 21 Then he turned his back, striving. 22 then he mustered 23 Then he said: I am your lord, the most high. 24 you pay attention 25 In this, behold, there is a lesson indeed for all who stand in awe [of God]. 26
