The Snatchers (Al-Naze'aat)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
By [the winds] that pluck out vehemently 1 and those that blow gently, 2 By the lone stars floating, 3 Then outpace the others swiftly 4 And who plan the implementation. 5 On the Day, the shiverer shivers 6 There will follow it the subsequent [one]. 7 (Some) hearts that Day will shake with fear and anxiety. 8 and eyes will be humbly cast down. 9 They say: shall we indeed be restored to the first state, 10 even after we have turned into decayed bones?" 11 They said: That then would be a return occasioning loss. 12 It will only be a single blast, 13 And lo! they will be awakened. 14 Has Moses' story reached you? 15 When his Lord called to him in the sacred valley of Tuwa, 16 'Go to Pharaoh; he has waxed insolent. 17 And say (unto him): Hast thou (will) to grow (in grace)? 18 Then I will guide thee to thy Lord and thou shalt fear (Him). 19 Moses showed him the great miracle 20 but he belied and disobeyed, 21 Further, he turned his back, striving hard (against Allah). 22 And he summoned all his people, 23 and said, "I am your Lord All-Highest!" 24 So Allah seized him with the punishment of the hereafter and the former life. 25 Surely, in this there is a lesson for he that fears! 26
