The Snatchers (Al-Naze'aat)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
By those who drag forth to destruction, 1 By those who gently draw out (the souls of the blessed); 2 By the angels who glide swimmingly, 3 and vie with the others (in carrying out their Lord's behests); 4 And direct affairs by command, 5 On the Day (when the first blowing of the Trumpet is blown), the earth and the mountains will shake violently (and everybody will die), 6 Followed by the second blast, 7 hearts will undergo terrible trembling, 8 While eyes are downcast 9 They say: "Shall we go back to our original state 10 "What! - when we shall have become rotten bones?" 11 They shall say, 'That then were a losing return!' 12 It will be only one scaring shout, 13 and behold, they are awakened. 14 Has Moses' story reached you? 15 Lo! His Sustainer called out to him in the twice-hallowed valley: 16 "Go to Pharaoh. Indeed, he has transgressed. 17 and say [unto him,] 'Art thou desirous of attaining to purity? 18 I shall guide you to your Lord so that you may perhaps have fear of Him". 19 So he showed him the mighty sign. 20 but he denied it as false and disobeyed, 21 Then he turned back striving. 22 and then he gathered [his great ones,] and called [unto his people,] 23 “I am the supreme lord of you all.” 24 Allah therefore seized him, in the punishment of this world and the Hereafter. 25 Verily herein is lesson for him who feareth. 26
