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 those that draw out violently, 2 by the angels who float (in the heavens by the will of God), 3 Then outpace the others swiftly 4 by those that direct an affair! 5 On the day when the first trump resoundeth. 6 followed by the succeeding, 7 hearts will throb on that Day 8 and their eyes shall be downcast with dread. 9 They say, "What? shall we be brought back to life, 10 When we have become bones decayed! 11 They will say: 'Then we are returned lost' 12 But all it will take is a single blast, 13 And they will wake up suddenly. 14 Have you received the story of Moses? 15 When his Lord called him in the holy valley of Tuwa. 16 "Go thou to Pharaoh for he has indeed transgressed all bounds: 17 Then say: Have you (a desire) to purify yourself: 18 And let me guide you to your Lord so you would fear [Him]?'" 19 Then Moses (went to Pharaoh and) showed him the Great Sign; 20 But he rejected (the truth) and disobeyed. 21 Then turned he away in haste, 22 And he gathered [his people] and called out 23 And then said, “I am your most supreme lord.” 24 you pay attention 25 Verily, in this is an instructive admonition for whosoever fears Allah. 26
