The Snatchers (Al-Naze'aat)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
I CALL TO WITNESS those who dive and drag, 1 By those who gently draw out (the souls of the blessed); 2 by the swimmers (angels) swimming gently 3 And those who race each other in a race 4 And who plan the implementation. 5 The Day when the quaking will cause a violent convulsion, 6 and the second blast follows it, 7 Hearts will pound loudly on that day, 8 Their eyes humbled. 9 The disbelievers say, “Will we really return to our former state?” 10 even after we are fragmented bones' 11 and they say, "That indeed would be a losing return." 12 However, it will only take a single blast 13 and behold! They will all come out in the open. 14 Did the news of Moosa reach 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 [be willing to] purify yourself 18 And let me guide you to your Lord so you would fear [Him]?'" 19 Then Moses (went to Pharaoh and) showed him the Great Sign; 20 but he cried lies, and rebelled, 21 He then turned away, striving in his effort. 22 And he summoned all his people, 23 And proclaimed: "I (Pharaoh) am your Lord the Highest." 24 but God seized him and meted out to him the chastisement of both the next world and the present: 25 Indeed in that is a warning for whoever would fear [Allah]. 26
