The Snatchers (Al-Naze'aat)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
By those that pluck out vehemently 1 and those that blow gently, 2 And [by] those who glide [as if] swimming 3 by those that outstrip them suddenly, 4 by the managers (angels) affair. 5 [HENCE, think of] the Day when a violent convulsion will convulse [the world,] 6 to be followed by further [convulsions], 7 hearts will undergo terrible trembling, 8 and eyes will be humbly cast down. 9 They say, "What? shall we be brought back to life, 10 Even if we should be decayed bones? 11 They say: "Then this returning will be a dead loss." 12 But all it will take is a single blast, 13 and behold! They will all come out in the open. 14 Has Moses' story reached you? 15 His Lord called out to him by the sacred valley of Tuwa: 16 saying, "Go to the Pharaoh. He has transgressed beyond all bounds. 17 And say to him, "Would you like to reform yourself? 18 Do you want me to guide you to your Lord, so that you should fear Him?'" 19 He showed him the mighty sign, 20 But the Pharaoh disavowed and disobeyed. 21 and brusquely turned his back [on Moses]; 22 Then he gathered and cried aloud, 23 Then he said: I am your lord, the most high. 24 you pay attention 25 Indeed in that is a warning for whoever would fear [Allah]. 26
