The Sky Will Split
ٱلسَّمَآءُ مُنفَطِرُۢ بِهِۦۚ كَانَ وَعۡدُهُۥ مَفۡعُولًا ١٨
The very heaven being then rent asunder. His promise is to be fulfilled.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
The sky will split apart therein; His promise is ever fulfilled.
Insight
According to Elmalılı, that day not only will mountains melt and children grow old; even the lofty sky will split and a new world be established. Allah’s promise has always been fulfilled.
Reflect
Recall a promise Allah has given you and trust it.
