The Snatchers (Al-Naze'aat)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
By the pluckers (the angels of death), violently plucking (the souls of the unbelievers), 1 by the angels who gently release the souls of the believers, 2 And those who glide swimmingly, 3 and those that outstrip suddenly 4 And who plan the implementation. 5 A Day shall come whereon the quaking will quake, 6 And there will follow it the next blast. 7 Many a heart will flutter on that day! 8 Their looks will be downcast. 9 They shall say, 'What, are we being restored as we were before? 10 “When we have become decayed bones?” 11 They say, "That, then, would be a losing return." 12 But it shall be only a single scare, 13 And they will wake up suddenly. 14 Have you received the story of Moses? 15 Behold, thy Lord did call to him in the sacred valley of Tuwa:- 16 Go to Firon, surely he has become inordinate. 17 And say: 'Would you like to grow (in virtue)? 18 Then I will guide you to your Lord that you may come to fear Him.'" 19 So Moosa showed him a magnificent sign. 20 but he denied it as false and disobeyed, 21 then he turned away hastily, 22 And he gathered [his people] and called out 23 Saying, "I am your Lord, Most High". 24 So Allah seized him (and made him) an example for the after (life) and for the former. 25 Lo! herein is indeed a lesson for him who feareth. 26
