The Snatchers (Al-Naze'aat)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
CONSIDER those [stars] that rise only to set, 1 and those that blow gently, 2 by those that swim serenely 3 and those that outstrip suddenly 4 And who plan the implementation. 5 The day on which the quaking one shall quake, 6 to be followed by further [convulsions], 7 On that Day some hearts shall tremble (with fright), 8 Cast down will be (their owners') eyes. 9 They say: 'What, are we being restored as we were before, 10 even after we have turned into decayed bones?" 11 They will say: 'Then we are returned lost' 12 But it will be only a single blow, 13 and behold! They will all come out in the open. 14 (Muhammad), have you heard the story of Moses 15 When his Lord called to him in the sacred valley of Tuwa, 16 "Go thou to Pharaoh for he has indeed transgressed all bounds: 17 And say: 'Would you like to grow in virtue? 18 Then I will guide thee to thy Lord and thou shalt fear (Him). 19 Then did (Moses) show him the Great Sign. 20 but he belied and disobeyed, 21 Then he turned his back, striving hard (against Allah). 22 then he mustered 23 and proclaimed, "I am your supreme Lord," 24 But Allah did punish him, (and made an) example of him, - in the Hereafter, as in this life. 25 Verily in this is an instructive warning for whosoever feareth (Allah). 26
