The Snatchers (Al-Naze'aat)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
By those who drag forth to destruction, 1 And who softly release the soul. (Of the believer) 2 and float [through space] with floating serene, 3 Then outpace the others swiftly 4 by those that direct an affair! 5 The Day when the quaking will cause a violent convulsion, 6 and will be followed by another quaking. 7 hearts will throb on that Day 8 and their eyes will be humbled. 9 They shall say, 'What, are we being restored as we were before? 10 Even if we should be decayed bones? 11 [And] they add, "That, then, would be a return with loss!" 12 Surely it will need but one shout, 13 and they will be upon the surface of the earth (alive). 14 Hast thou received the story of Moses? 15 When his Lord called him in the sacred valley of Tuwa, 16 saying 'Go to Pharaoh, he has become exceedingly insolent, 17 and say [unto him,] 'Art thou desirous of attaining to purity? 18 Then I shall guide thee unto thy Lord so that thou shalt fear. 19 And he showed him the greatest sign, 20 In response, he denied and disobeyed. 21 Then he went back hastily. 22 and gathered his people and declared: 23 Saying, "I am your Lord, Most High". 24 So Allah seized him in exemplary punishment for the last and the first [transgression]. 25 Indeed in that is a warning for whoever would fear [Allah]. 26
