The Snatchers (Al-Naze'aat)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
By those who drag forth to destruction, 1 and move [in their orbits] with steady motion, 2 by those that swim serenely 3 Then outpace the others swiftly 4 And who plan the implementation. 5 Upon the day when the first blast shivers 6 And the second followeth it, 7 On that day hearts beat painfully 8 and their eyes will be humbled. 9 They say: shall we indeed be restored to the first state, 10 Even after we are crumbled bones? 11 They say: "It would, in that case, be a return with loss!" 12 So that is not but a single shout. 13 to bring them out of their graves and back to life on 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 "Go to Pharaoh. Indeed, he has transgressed. 17 And say: 'Would you like to grow (in virtue)? 18 "'And that I guide thee to thy Lord, so thou shouldst fear Him?'" 19 So he showed him the mighty sign. 20 But Pharaoh denied and disobeyed. 21 then he turned away hastily, 22 Then he gathered and cried aloud, 23 And he said: I am your Lord, most high. 24 Allah therefore seized him, in the punishment of this world and the Hereafter. 25 Verily in this is an instructive warning for whosoever feareth (Allah). 26
