The Snatchers (Al-Naze'aat)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
By those who drag forth to destruction, 1 By the meteors rushing, 2 And by those who float in space, 3 and vie with the others (in carrying out their Lord's behests); 4 And who plan the implementation. 5 The day on which the quaking one shall quake, 6 And there will follow it the next blast. 7 Hearts, that Day, will tremble, 8 Unable to lift their gaze. 9 They say: shall we indeed be restored to the first state, 10 "What! - when we shall have become rotten bones?" 11 They will say: 'Then we are returned lost' 12 But all it will take is a single blast, 13 And lo! they will be awakened. 14 (Muhammad), have you heard the story of Moses 15 His Lord called out to him by the sacred valley of Tuwa: 16 (Saying:) Go thou unto Pharaoh - Lo! he hath rebelled - 17 and say: "Will you purify yourself, 18 and that I should guide thee to thy Lord, then thou shalt fear?"' 19 So he showed him the great sign, 20 But (the Pharaoh) disavowed and disobeyed. 21 and then he turned back to have recourse to his craftiness, 22 and gathered his people and declared: 23 “I am the supreme lord of you all.” 24 Wherefore Allah laid hold of him with the punishment of the Hereafter and of the present. 25 surely there is in this a lesson for the God-fearing. 26
