فَإِذَا انشَقَّتِ السَّمَاء

Then when the heaven is rent asunder,

And the heaven will be rent asunder, for that Day it (the heaven) will be frail and torn up. (69;16),

And (remember) the Day when the heaven shall be rent asunder with clouds, and the angels will be sent down, with a grand descending. (25;25)

and,

وَأَذِنَتْ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتْ

When the heaven is split asunder, and listens to and obeys its Lord -- and it must do so. (84;1-2)
