يَوْمَ
نَطْوِي
السَّمَاءَ
كَطَيِّ
السِّجِلِّ
لِلْكُتُبِ
كَمَا
بَدَأْنَا
أَوَّلَ
خَلْقٍ
نُّعِيدُهُ
وَعْدًا
عَلَيْنَا
إِنَّا
كُنَّا
فَاعِلِينَ
yawma naṭwī s-samāʾa ka-ṭayyi s-sijilli li-l-kutubi ka-mā badaʾnā ʾawwala khalqin nuʿīduhū waʿdan ʿalaynā ʾinnā kunnā fāʿilīna
The day We shall roll up the heaven, like rolling of the scrolls [meant] for writings. We will bring it back just as We began the first creation—a promise [binding] on Us. [That] indeed We will do.
— Ali Quli Qarai
The Day that We roll up the heavens like a scroll rolled up for books (completed),- even as We produced the first creation, so shall We produce a new one: a promise We have undertaken: truly shall We fulfil it.
