The Snatchers (Al-Naze'aat)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
By the angels who violently tear-out the souls of the disbelievers from their bodies, 1 by the angels who gently release the souls of the believers, 2 by the swimmers (angels) swimming gently 3 And by those that press forward as in a race (i.e. the angels or stars or the horses, etc.). 4 And those who arrange [each] matter, 5 [HENCE, think of] the Day when a violent convulsion will convulse [the world,] 6 and will be followed by the second one, 7 hearts will throb on that Day 8 Unable to lift their gaze. 9 The disbelievers say, “Will we really return to our former state?” 10 even after we are fragmented bones' 11 They have said, "Such a resurrection will certainly be a great loss". 12 So that is not but a single shout. 13 So they will immediately be in an open plain. 14 Have you heard the story of Moses? 15 Recall what time his Lord called unto him in the holy vale of Tuwa. 16 Go to Firon, surely he has become inordinate. 17 and say: "Will you purify yourself, 18 and that I should guide thee to thy Lord, then thou shalt fear?"' 19 And he showed him the greatest sign, 20 But (Pharaoh) rejected it and disobeyed (guidance); 21 Then he went back hastily. 22 and gathered his people together 23 and said, "I am your Lord All-Highest!" 24 you pay attention 25 Most surely there is in this a lesson to him who fears. 26
