The Snatchers (Al-Naze'aat)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
By those (angels) that pluck out the soul from depths, 1 By the meteors rushing, 2 and float [through space] with floating serene, 3 Then those who are foremost going ahead, 4 And those who arrange [each] matter, 5 On the Day the blast [of the Horn] will convulse [creation], 6 followed by the succeeding, 7 Hearts on that day shall palpitate, 8 and their eyes will be humbled. 9 They say: "Shall we go back to our original state 10 Even if we should be decayed bones? 11 [And] they add, "That, then, would be a return with loss!" 12 So that is not but a single shout. 13 And lo! they will be awakened. 14 Has there reached you the story of Moses? - 15 When his Lord called him in the holy valley of Tuwa. 16 and directed him: “Go to Pharaoh, he has rebelled, 17 “Tell him ‘Do you have the inclination to become pure?’ 18 And I will guide you to your Lord so that you should fear. 19 So he showed him the mighty sign. 20 But he denied and disobeyed, 21 Then he turned his back, striving. 22 Then he collected (his men) and made a proclamation, 23 And proclaimed: "I (Pharaoh) am your Lord the Highest." 24 So God seized him for the punishment of the Hereafter and this world. 25 Verily in this is an instructive warning for whosoever feareth (Allah). 26
