The Snatchers (Al-Naze'aat)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
By oath of those who harshly pull out the soul. (Of the disbeliever) 1 and gently take it away; 2 And those who glide swimmingly, 3 by those that outstrip them suddenly, 4 by the managers (angels) affair. 5 The day on which the quaking one shall quake, 6 And the second followeth it, 7 On that Day some hearts shall tremble (with fright), 8 Their eyes cast down. 9 They say: "Shall we go back to our original state 10 "Even after we are crumbled bones?" 11 They say: "It would in that case, be a return with loss!" 12 However, it will only take a single blast 13 When, behold, they find themselves over the earth alive after their death, 14 (Muhammad), have you heard the story of Moses 15 when his Lord called him in the holy valley of Tuwa, 16 Go to Firon, surely he has become inordinate. 17 and say [unto him,] 'Art thou desirous of attaining to purity? 18 And that I guide you to your Lord, so you should fear Him? 19 So he showed him the mighty sign. 20 but he denied it as false and disobeyed, 21 Further, he turned his back, striving hard (against Allah). 22 And assembled (his council) and proclaimed, 23 and proclaimed, "I am your supreme Lord," 24 So Allah seized him with the punishment of the Everlasting Life, and of this world. 25 Indeed in that is a warning for whoever would fear [Allah]. 26
