The Snatchers (Al-Naze'aat)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
By those (angels) that pluck out the soul from depths, 1 and move [in their orbits] with steady motion, 2 By the angels who glide swimmingly, 3 And those who race each other in a race 4 by the managers (angels) affair. 5 The day on which the quaking one shall quake, 6 And the following event will come after it. 7 (Some) hearts that Day will shake with fear and anxiety. 8 While eyes are downcast 9 (The disbelievers) say, "Shall we be brought back to life again 10 When we have become bones decayed! 11 They say: "It would, in that case, be a return with loss!" 12 But it shall be only a single cry, 13 and behold! They will all come out in the open. 14 Did the news of Moosa reach you? 15 How his Lord called him in the holy vale of Tuwa, 16 Go to Fir'aun (Pharaoh), verily, he has transgressed all bounds (in crimes, sins, polytheism, disbelief, etc.). 17 and say: "Will you purify yourself, 18 ‘And I may guide you to your Lord, so that you may fear.’” 19 So he showed him the great sign, 20 but he denied it as false and disobeyed, 21 and brusquely turned his back [on Moses]; 22 and then he gathered [his great ones,] and called [unto his people,] 23 And said, "I am your most exalted lord." 24 Allah therefore seized him, in the punishment of this world and the Hereafter. 25 Surely in that is a lesson for him who fears! 26
