And on the day when the heaven, each of the ˹seven˺ heavens, will be split asunder with the clouds, in other words, ˹split asunder˺ together with them ˹the clouds˺ (al-ghamām is white cloud) and the angels will be sent down, from every heaven, in a ˹majestic˺ descent, and this is the Day of Resurrection (it ˹yawma, ‘on the day’˺ is in the accusative because of an implied ˹preceding˺ udhkur, ‘mention’; a variant reading ˹for tashaqqaqu˺ is tashshaqqaqu, ‘will be split asunder’, where the second tā’ ˹of the original form tatashaqqaqu˺ has been assimilated with it the ˹the shīn˺; another variant reading ˹instead of nuzzila almalā’ikatu, ‘the angels will be sent down’˺ has nunzilu al-malā’ikata, ‘We will send down the angels’);
