Plain text of Sura 79: The Snatchers (Al-Naaze`aat)

79:0 In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

79:1 The (angels who) snatch (the souls of the disbelievers) forcibly.

79:2 And those who gently take (the souls of the believers) joyfully.

79:3 And those floating everywhere.

79:4 Eagerly racing with one another -

79:5 to carry out various commands.

79:6 The day the quake quakes.

79:7 Followed by the second blow.

79:8 Certain minds will be terrified.

79:9 Their eyes will be subdued.

79:10 They will say, "We have been recreated from the grave!

79:11 "How did this happen after we had turned into rotten bones?"

79:12 They had said, "This is an impossible recurrence."

79:13 All it takes is one nudge.

79:14 Whereupon they get up.

79:15 Have you known about the history of Moses?

79:16 His Lord called him at the holy valley of Tuwaa.

79:17 "Go to Pharaoh; he has transgressed."

79:18 Tell him, "Would you not reform?

79:19 "Let me guide you to your Lord, that you may turn reverent."

79:20 He then showed him the great miracle.

79:21 But he disbelieved and rebelled.

79:22 Then he turned away in a hurry.

79:23 He summoned and proclaimed.

79:24 He said, "I am your Lord; most high."

79:25 Consequently, GOD committed him to the retribution in the Hereafter, as well as in the first life.

79:26 This is a lesson for the reverent.

79:27 Are you more difficult to create than the heaven? He constructed it.

79:28 He raised its masses, and perfected it.

79:29 He made its night dark, and brightened its morn.

79:30 He made the earth egg-shaped.

79:31 From it, He produced its own water and pasture.

79:32 He established the mountains.

79:33 All this to provide life support for you and your animals.

79:34 Then, when the great blow comes.

79:35 That is the day when the human will remember everything he did.

79:36 Hell will be brought into existence.

79:37 As for the one who transgressed.

79:38 Who was preoccupied with this life.

79:39 Hell will be the abode.

79:40 As for the one who reverenced the majesty of his Lord, and enjoined the self from sinful lusts.

79:41 Paradise will be the abode.

79:42 They ask you about the Hour, and when it will take place!

79:43 It is not you (Muhammad) who is destined to announce its time.

79:44 Your Lord decides its fate.

79:45 Your mission is to warn those who expect it.

79:46 The day they see it, they will feel as if they lasted one evening or half a day.
