The curtain drawn back from the skies,
And when the heaven is torn away.
when heaven shall be stripped off;
and when heaven is laid bare,
And when the heaven shall be stripped,
And when the heaven shall be stripped off and taken away from its place;
When the sky is peeled away.
and when Heaven is laid bare;
And when the heaven is Kushitat;
And when the sky is torn away,
when the sky is stripped off,
when heaven is stripped,
And when the sky is stripped away
the heavens are unveiled,
And when the heaven has its covering removed,
Wai<u>tha</u> a<b>l</b>ssam<u>a</u>o kushi<u>t</u>at
when the sky is unveiled,
When the world on High is unveiled;
وَإِذَا ٱلسَّمَآءُ كُشِطَتْ
When the sky is stripped like how the skin is stripped away from a sheep.
When the sky is stripped like how the skin is stripped away from a sheep.
<p>وَإِذَا السَّمَاءُ كُشِطَتْ (and when the sky will be stripped off...81:11) The word kushitat is derived from kasht, and it literally means 'to strip off the skin of an animal. Probably, this condition will prevail at the first blowing of the Horn, which will happen in this world. The stars, the Sun and the Moon that contributed to the beauty of the sky will all lose their light and lustre and will be thrown into the ocean. The outlook of the sky will be changed. This phenomenon is termed in this verse as: 'The sky will be stripped off. Some commentators interpret the word kasht in the sense of 'folding up'. The verse, according to them, purports to say that the sky that surrounds the upper atmosphere over our heads will be folded up.</p>
