The Holy Quran 14:48 — Surah Ibrahim

Arabic text

يَوْمَ تُبَدَّلُ ٱلْأَرْضُ غَيْرَ ٱلْأَرْضِ وَٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتُ ۖ وَبَرَزُوا۟ لِلَّهِ ٱلْوَٰحِدِ ٱلْقَهَّارِ

Translation

(Do not forget) The day (of Qiyaamah) when the earth will be changed (completely) into another earth, and the skies (will also be changed. People will then be called to account for their actions as they stand on an earth completely different from the earth we know). They will then present themselves before Allaah, the One, the Most Powerful.

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

The changing of the earth and heavens on the Day of Resurrection: on the Day of Resurrection this earth and these heavens will not remain in their present form: either their very essences will be replaced, or only their attributes will change. Some reports indicate that perhaps this changing and transformation will take place several times.
