﴿ يَوْمَ تَمُورُ ٱلسَّمَآءُ مَوْرًۭا ﴾
“[It will come to pass] on the Day when the skies will be convulsed in [a great] convulsion,”
يَوْمَ تَمُورُ السَّمَاءُ مَوْرًا (...the Day when the sky will tremble, a horrible trembling, ...52:9) The lexicographical denotation of the word mawr is violent shaking, or movement caused by unrest. This verse describes the violent movement of the heavens on the Day of Resurrection.
