The Snatchers (Al-Naze'aat)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
By those (angels) that pluck out the soul from depths, 1 and gently take it away; 2 by the swimmers (angels) swimming gently 3 Then those who are foremost going ahead, 4 And direct affairs by command, 5 On the day when the first trumpet sound blasts 6 There will follow it the subsequent [one]. 7 hearts will be throbbing, 8 while eyes will be downcast. 9 They shall say, 'What, are we being restored as we were before? 10 When we have become bones decayed! 11 They say: "It would, in that case, be a return with loss!" 12 But all it will take is a single blast, 13 And they will wake up suddenly. 14 Has Moses' story reached you? 15 when his Lord called him in the holy valley of Tuwa, 16 Go to Firon, surely he has become inordinate. 17 “Tell him ‘Do you have the inclination to become pure?’ 18 ‘And I may guide you to your Lord, so that you may fear.’” 19 And he showed him the greatest sign, 20 Yet he belied and disobeyed. 21 Then he turned away in a hurry, 22 Then gathered he and summoned 23 Saying: "I am your lord, most high", 24 but God seized him and meted out to him the chastisement of both the next world and the present: 25 Lo! herein is indeed a lesson for him who feareth. 26
