The Snatchers (Al-Naze'aat)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
By those who drag forth to destruction, 1 By the meteors rushing, 2 By the angels who glide swimmingly, 3 and the outstrippers (angels), outstripping, 4 by those that direct an affair! 5 The day the convulsive (first blast) shatters convulsively 6 And the second followeth it, 7 Hearts on that day shall palpitate, 8 Their eyes cast down. 9 They say, "What? shall we be brought back to life, 10 even after we have turned into decayed bones?" 11 They say: "It would, in that case, be a return with loss!" 12 But it shall be only a single scare, 13 When, behold, they find themselves over the earth alive after their death, 14 (Muhammad), have you heard the story of Moses 15 When his Lord called to him in the holy valley, Towa: 16 saying, "Go to the Pharaoh. He has transgressed beyond all bounds. 17 And say to him: "Would you purify yourself (from the sin of disbelief by becoming a believer)", 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 In response, he denied and disobeyed. 21 Then he turned away, deliberating, 22 and gathered his people together 23 Saying: "I am alone your lord, the highest of them all." 24 you pay attention 25 Surely there is a great lesson in it for whoever would fear (Allah). 26
