The Snatchers (Al-Naze'aat)
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Most Merciful
By those [angels] who extract with violence 1 By the meteors rushing, 2 by the angels who float (in the heavens by the will of God), 3 And those who race each other in a race 4 And who plan the implementation. 5 One Day everything that can be in commotion will be in violent commotion, 6 What must happen afterwards shall follow it. 7 On that Day some hearts shall tremble (with fright), 8 Unable to lift their gaze. 9 They say: “Shall we indeed be restored to life, 10 “When we have become decayed bones?” 11 They say, "That, then, would be a losing return." 12 Indeed, it will be but one shout, 13 to bring them out of their graves and back to life on the earth's surface. 14 Have you heard the story of Moses? 15 How his Lord called him in the holy vale of Tuwa, 16 and directed him: “Go to Pharaoh, he has rebelled, 17 And say to him, "Would you like to reform yourself? 18 And that I guide you to your Lord, so you should fear Him? 19 So Moosa showed him a magnificent sign. 20 Yet he belied and disobeyed. 21 Then he went back hastily. 22 So he gathered the people, and proclaimed. 23 “I am the supreme lord of you all.” 24 So Allah, seized him with punishment for his last [i.e. his saying: "I am your lord, most high") (see Verse 79:24)] and first [(i.e. his saying, "O chiefs! I know not that you have a god other than I" (see Verse 28:38)] transgression. 25 Surely, in this there is a lesson for he that fears! 26
