The Holy Quran 21:104 — Surah Al-Anbya

Arabic text

يَوْمَ نَطْوِى ٱلسَّمَآءَ كَطَىِّ ٱلسِّجِلِّ لِلْكُتُبِ ۚ كَمَا بَدَأْنَآ أَوَّلَ خَلْقٍ نُّعِيدُهُۥ ۚ وَعْدًا عَلَيْنَآ ۚ إِنَّا كُنَّا فَـٰعِلِينَ

Translation

(Do not forget the Day of Qiyaamah, which is) The day when We will fold the skies like the folds of written scrolls. As We originated the first creation, We shall repeat it (making all appear as they had appeared when they were first created). This is a binding (definite) promise upon Us. We are undoubtedly the Ones Who can do (Who have the power to fulfil this promise).

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

The rolling up of the heavens on the Day of Resurrection: that is, when the Day of Resurrection comes, the ranks of the heavens will be rolled up, just as a sheet with a written document is rolled up and put away. وَالسَّمٰوٰتُ مَطْوِيّٰتٌۢ بِيَمِيْنِهٖ “…and the heavens will be rolled up in His right hand.
