The Snatchers (Al-Naze'aat)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
By oath of those who harshly pull out the soul. (Of the disbeliever) 1 By those who gently draw out (the souls of the blessed); 2 And those who glide swimmingly, 3 and those that outstrip suddenly 4 and thus they fulfil the [Creator's] behest! 5 On the day when the first trumpet sound blasts 6 What must happen afterwards shall follow it. 7 On that day hearts beat painfully 8 Eyes be lowered in submission. 9 The disbelievers say, “Will we really return to our former state?” 10 even after we are fragmented bones' 11 They say: “That will then be a return with a great loss!” 12 But it shall be only a single scare, 13 and behold, they are awakened. 14 Did the news of Moosa reach you? 15 When his Lord called to him in the holy valley, Towa: 16 Go to Firon, surely he has become inordinate. 17 And say to him, "Would you like to reform yourself? 18 I shall guide you to your Lord so that you may perhaps have fear of Him". 19 Then Moses (went to Pharaoh and) showed him the Great Sign; 20 Yet he belied and disobeyed. 21 Then he quickly turned his back. 22 then he mustered 23 Yet to a rich man, 24 Allah therefore seized him, in the punishment of this world and the Hereafter. 25 Surely, in this there is a lesson for he that fears! 26
