The Snatchers (Al-Naze'aat)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
By the (angels) who tear out (the souls of the wicked) with violence; 1 And who softly release the soul. (Of the believer) 2 And by those who float in space, 3 by those that outstrip them suddenly, 4 and thus they fulfil the [Creator's] behest! 5 Upon the day when the first blast shivers 6 There will follow it the subsequent [one]. 7 Hearts on that Day will be throbbing; 8 while eyes will be downcast. 9 They say: "Shall we indeed be returned to (our) former state of life? 10 "What! - when we shall have become rotten bones?" 11 They say: "It would in that case, be a return with loss!" 12 But it shall be only a single scare, 13 And lo! they all shall appear on the surface. 14 Has Moses' story reached you? 15 when his Lord called him in the holy valley of Tuwa, 16 Go to Fir'aun (Pharaoh), verily, he has transgressed all bounds (in crimes, sins, polytheism, disbelief, etc.). 17 And say to him, "Would you like to reform yourself? 18 that I may direct you to your Lord and then you hold Him in awe?'” 19 So he showed him the great sign, 20 But [Pharaoh] gave him the lie and rebelliously rejected [all guidance,] 21 Then he went back hastily. 22 So he gathered the people, and proclaimed. 23 And then said, “I am your most supreme lord.” 24 you pay attention 25 Lo! herein is indeed a lesson for him who feareth. 26
