The Holy Quran 81:11 — Surah At-Takwir

Arabic text

وَإِذَا ٱلسَّمَآءُ كُشِطَتْ

Translation

When the sky will be opened (for the angels to pass through).

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

The skin of the sky will be stripped away: just as the hide of an animal is stripped off after slaughter, and all its organs, veins and fibres are then exposed, so, with the opening of the sky, what is above it will become visible and the descent of the clouds will take place. This is mentioned in the nineteenth juz' (part of the Quran)
