Al-Inshiqaq 84:1–5
When the sky splits open
بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
إِذَا ٱلسَّمَآءُ ٱنشَقَّتْ ١ وَأَذِنَتْ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتْ ٢ وَإِذَا ٱلْأَرْضُ مُدَّتْ ٣ وَأَلْقَتْ مَا فِيهَا وَتَخَلَّتْ ٤ وَأَذِنَتْ لِرَبِّهَا وَحُقَّتْ ٥
The meaning, simply
On the Last Day the sky will split open, obeying its Lord, as it must. The earth will be stretched out flat, cast out the dead inside it, and obey its Lord too.
