The Snatchers (Al-Naze'aat)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
By those [angels] who extract with violence 1 and those that blow gently, 2 and by [the clouds] that swim serenely and 3 and the outstrippers (angels), outstripping, 4 And then they manage the affair, 5 The day the convulsive shatters convulsively 6 and will be followed by the second one, 7 On that Day some hearts shall tremble (with fright), 8 Eyes be lowered in submission. 9 (The disbelievers) say, "Shall we be brought back to life again 10 After having turned to carious bones?" 11 They say: "Then this returning will be a dead loss." 12 But verily, it will be but a single (Compelling) Cry, 13 And they will wake up suddenly. 14 HAS THE STORY of Moses ever come within thy ken. 15 When his Lord called to him in Tuwa's holy vale? 16 "Go to the Pharaoh who has become refractory, 17 "And say to him, 'Wouldst thou that thou shouldst be purified (from sin)?- 18 that I may direct you to your Lord and then you hold Him in awe?'” 19 Moses showed him the great sign, 20 But Pharaoh denied and disobeyed. 21 Further, he turned his back, striving hard (against Allah). 22 Then he gathered (men) and called out. 23 and said, "I am your Lord All-Highest!" 24 you pay attention 25 Verily in this is an instructive warning for whosoever feareth (Allah). 26
