The Snatchers (Al-Naze'aat)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
By the angels who violently tear-out the souls of the disbelievers from their bodies, 1 and gently take it away; 2 by those that swim serenely 3 By the angels hastening, 4 and thus they fulfil the [Creator's] behest! 5 The day on which the quaking one shall quake, 6 to be followed by further [convulsions]! 7 On that Day will [men's] hearts be throbbing, 8 Their eyes cast down. 9 They say: “Shall we indeed be restored to life, 10 What! when we are rotten bones? 11 They say: "It would, in that case, 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 Did the news of Moosa reach you? 15 Recall what time his Lord called unto him in the holy vale of Tuwa. 16 [saying], "Go to Pharaoh, he has exceeded all bounds, 17 And say to him: "Would you purify yourself (from the sin of disbelief by becoming a believer)", 18 Then I will guide you to your Lord that you may come to fear Him.'" 19 Then he shewed him the great sign. 20 But he rejected (the truth) and disobeyed. 21 Then he went back hastily. 22 and gathered his people together 23 and said, "I am your Lord All-Highest!" 24 Allah therefore seized him, in the punishment of this world and the Hereafter. 25 Verily herein is lesson for him who feareth. 26
