The Snatchers (Al-Naze'aat)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
By the pluckers (the angels of death), violently plucking (the souls of the unbelievers), 1 By those (angels) who gently take out (the souls of the believers); 2 by the swimmers (angels) swimming gently 3 And those who race each other in a race 4 And by those angels who arrange to do the Commands of their Lord, (so verily, you disbelievers will be called to account). 5 On the day when the first trump resoundeth. 6 and will be followed by another quaking. 7 On that day hearts beat painfully 8 and their eyes shall be humbled. 9 They say: "Shall we go back to our original state 10 What! when we are rotten bones? 11 They say: "It would in that case, be a return with loss!" 12 Indeed, it will be but one shout, 13 When, behold, they will be in the (full) awakening (to Judgment). 14 Hath there come unto thee the history of Moses? 15 When his Lord called to him in Tuwa's holy vale? 16 "Go to Pharaoh. Indeed, he has transgressed. 17 Then say thou: wouldst thou to be purified? 18 that I may direct you to your Lord and then you hold Him in awe?'” 19 Then he shewed him the great sign. 20 But he rejected (the truth) and disobeyed. 21 and hastily turned away, 22 And he gathered [his people] and called out 23 Then he said: I am your lord, the most high. 24 you pay attention 25 Verily herein is lesson for him who feareth. 26
