﴿ يَوْمَ نَطْوِى ٱلسَّمَآءَ كَطَىِّ ٱلسِّجِلِّ لِلْكُتُبِ ۚ كَمَا بَدَأْنَآ أَوَّلَ خَلْقٍۢ نُّعِيدُهُۥ ۚ وَعْدًا عَلَيْنَآ ۚ إِنَّا كُنَّا فَٰعِلِينَ ﴾
“On that Day We shall roll up the skies as written scrolls are rolled up; [and] as We brought into being the first creation, so We shall bring it forth anew a promise which We have willed upon Ourselves: for, behold, We are able to do [all things]!”
(The Day) this is the Day of Judgement (when We shall rolleth up the heavens) with the right hand (and a recorder rolls up a written scroll. As We began the first creation) through a sperm, (We shall repeat it) We shall resurrect from dust. ((It is) a promise (binding) upon Us) this is incumbent upon Us. (Lo! We are to perform it) We will bring them back to life after they die.
