The Snatchers (Al-Naze'aat)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
By those (angels) that pluck out the soul from depths, 1 And by those who gently draw out the souls of the blessed, 2 And by those that swim along (i.e. angels or planets in their orbits, etc.). 3 and yet overtake [one another] with swift overtaking: 4 and thus they fulfil the [Creator's] behest! 5 Upon the day when the first blast shivers 6 and will be followed by another quaking. 7 On that day hearts beat painfully 8 Eyes be lowered in submission. 9 (The disbelievers) say, "Shall we be brought back to life again 10 after we have become bones and dust?" 11 They have said, "Such a resurrection will certainly be a great loss". 12 However, it will only take a single blast 13 And they will wake up suddenly. 14 Did the news of Moosa reach you? 15 When his Lord called to him in the holy valley, Towa: 16 Go to Fir'aun (Pharaoh), verily, he has transgressed all bounds (in crimes, sins, polytheism, disbelief, etc.). 17 and say: "Will you purify yourself, 18 And let me guide you to your Lord so you would fear [Him]?'" 19 Then [Musa (Moses)] showed him the great sign (miracles). 20 But (Pharaoh) rejected it and disobeyed (guidance); 21 and brusquely turned his back [on Moses]; 22 Then he gathered and cried aloud, 23 and said, "I am your Lord All-Highest!" 24 you pay attention 25 Verily, in this is an instructive admonition for whosoever fears Allah. 26
