The Snatchers (Al-Naze'aat)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
By those [angels] who extract with violence 1 By those who gently draw out (the souls of the blessed); 2 and float [through space] with floating serene, 3 by the angels who hasten along 4 And who plan the implementation. 5 The day on which the quaking one shall quake, 6 followed by the succeeding, 7 Hearts will pound loudly on that day, 8 Their eyes humbled. 9 They say: “Shall we indeed be restored to life, 10 What! when we are rotten bones? 11 They shall say, 'That then were a losing return!' 12 But it shall be only a single cry, 13 and then, lo, they will be fully awakened [to the truth]! 14 Did the news of Moosa reach you? 15 His Lord called out to him by the sacred valley of Tuwa: 16 "Go thou to Pharaoh for he has indeed transgressed all bounds: 17 and say: "Will you purify yourself, 18 that I might guide you to your Lord, so that you fear (Him)." 19 And he showed him the greatest sign, 20 But Pharaoh denied and disobeyed. 21 He then turned away, striving in his effort. 22 And he summoned all his people, 23 Saying: "I am your lord, most high", 24 So Allah seized him with the punishment of the hereafter and the former life. 25 Surely, in this there is a lesson for he that fears! 26
