The End (QURAN)

That Day We will fold up heaven like folding up the
pages of a book. As We originated the first creation so

That is what We will do.

The whole earth will be a mere handful for Him on the
Day of Rising the heavens folded up in His right hand.
Glory be to Him! He is exalted above the partners they
ascribe!
