The Snatchers (Al-Naze'aat)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
By the angels who violently tear-out the souls of the disbelievers from their bodies, 1 By the meteors rushing, 2 By the lone stars floating, 3 and those that outstrip suddenly 4 Then those who regulate the affair. 5 The Day when the quaking will cause a violent convulsion, 6 to be followed by further [convulsions]! 7 Hearts on that Day will be throbbing; 8 and their eyes shall be downcast with dread. 9 They say: 'What, are we being restored as we were before, 10 After having turned to carious bones?" 11 They said, “So this return is an obvious loss!” 12 But it shall be only a single cry, 13 to bring them out of their graves and back to life on the earth's surface. 14 Has Moses' story reached you? 15 When his Lord called to him in the sacred valley of Tuwa, 16 "Go thou to Pharaoh for he has indeed transgressed all bounds: 17 "And say to him, 'Wouldst thou that thou shouldst be purified (from sin)?- 18 Then I will guide you to your Lord that you may come to fear Him.'" 19 So he showed him the great sign, 20 Yet he belied and disobeyed. 21 He then turned away, striving in his effort. 22 then he mustered 23 and proclaimed, and he said, 'I am your Lord, the Most High!' 24 Allah therefore seized him, in the punishment of this world and the Hereafter. 25 In this there is a lesson for those who have fear of God. 26
