The Holy Quran 69:17 — Surah Al-Haqqah

Arabic text

وَٱلْمَلَكُ عَلَىٰٓ أَرْجَآئِهَا ۚ وَيَحْمِلُ عَرْشَ رَبِّكَ فَوْقَهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ ثَمَـٰنِيَةٌ

Translation

...with the angels (who live there) at its ends (because the sky will collapse at the centre, the angels living there will move to the sides). That day eight angels shall carry the throne of your Rabb above them (and bring it to the Plains of Reckoning).

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

The sky will split apart: that is, the sky, which today is so strong and firm that even after hundreds of thousands of years not the slightest crack has appeared in it anywhere, will on that day split and break into pieces. And when it begins to split in the middle, the angels will move to its edges.
