The Snatchers (Al-Naze'aat)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
CONSIDER those [stars] that rise only to set, 1 And who softly release the soul. (Of the believer) 2 And by those that swim along (i.e. angels or planets in their orbits, etc.). 3 Then those who are foremost going ahead, 4 And by those angels who arrange to do the Commands of their Lord, (so verily, you disbelievers will be called to account). 5 On the Day, the shiverer shivers 6 And the second followeth it, 7 On that Day some hearts shall tremble (with fright), 8 and their eyes shall be humbled. 9 They say: shall we indeed be restored to the first state, 10 even after we are fragmented bones' 11 They will say: 'Then we are returned lost' 12 But verily, it will be but a single (Compelling) Cry, 13 and behold, they are awakened. 14 Has there come to you the story of Musa (Moses)? 15 Behold, thy Lord did call to him in the sacred valley of Tuwa:- 16 saying, "Go to the Pharaoh. He has transgressed beyond all bounds. 17 And say to him, "Would you like to reform yourself? 18 And let me guide you to your Lord so you would fear [Him]?'" 19 Moses showed him the great sign, 20 but he cried lies, and rebelled, 21 Then he quickly turned his back. 22 And assembled (his council) and proclaimed, 23 Then he said: I am your lord, the most high. 24 you pay attention 25 Lo! herein is indeed a lesson for him who feareth. 26
