أَوْ تُسْقِطَ السَّمَاءَ كَمَا زَعَمْتَ عَلَيْنَا كِسَفاً أَوْ تَأْتِيَ بِاللَّهِ وَالْمَلاَئِكَةِ قَبِيلا ً
'Aw Tusqiţa As-Samā'a Kamā Za`amta `Alaynā Kisafāan 'Aw Ta'tiya Billāhi Wa Al-Malā'ikati Qabīlāan
"Or that you make the heaven fall upon us in pieces as you claimed, or that you bring God and the angels before us."

اللَّهُ الَّذِي يُرْسِلُ الرِّيَاحَ فَتُثِيرُ سَحَابا ً فَيَبْسُطُه ُُ فِي السَّمَاءِ كَيْفَ يَشَاءُ وَيَجْعَلُه ُُ كِسَفا ً فَتَرَى الْوَدْقَ يَخْرُجُ مِنْ خِلاَلِه ِِ فَإِذَا أَصَابَ بِه ِِ مَنْ يَشَاءُ مِنْ عِبَادِهِ~ِ إِذَا هُمْ يَسْتَبْشِرُونَ
Allāhu Al-Ladhī Yursilu Ar-Riyāĥa Fatuthīru Saĥābāan Fayabsuţuhu Fī As-Samā'i Kayfa Yashā'u Wa Yaj`aluhu Kisafāan Fatará Al-Wadqa Yakhruju Min Khilālihi Fa'idhā 'Aşāba Bihi Man Yashā'u Min `Ibādihi 'Idhā Hum Yastabshirūna
God Who sends the winds, so they raise clouds, and He spreads them in the sky as He wishes, then He turns them into joined pieces, then you see the rain drops come forth from their midst. Then when He makes them fall on whoever He wills of His servants, they rejoice!
34:9
أَفَلَمْ يَرَوْا إِلَى مَا بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَمَا خَلْفَهُمْ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ وَالأَرْضِ إِنْ نَشَأْ نَخْسِفْ بِهِمُ الأَرْضَ أَوْ نُسْقِطْ عَلَيْهِمْ كِسَفا ً مِنَ السَّمَاءِ إِنَّ فِي ذَلِكَ لَآيَة ً لِكُلِّ عَبْد ٍ مُنِيب ٍ
'Afalam Yaraw 'Ilá Mā Bayna 'Aydīhim Wa Mā Khalfahum Mina As-Samā'i Wa Al-'ArĐi 'In Nasha' Nakhsif Bihimu Al-'ArĐa 'Aw Nusqiţ `Alayhim Kisafāan Mina As-Samā'i 'Inna Fī Dhālika La'āyatan Likulli `Abdin Munībin
Have they not seen all that is before them and behind them, in the heaven and the earth? If We wished, We could cause the earth to swallow them, or cause pieces of the heaven to fall on them. In this is a sign for every obedient servant.
52:44
وَإِنْ يَرَوْا كِسْفا ً مِنَ السَّمَاءِ سَاقِطا ً يَقُولُوا سَحَاب ٌ مَرْكُوم ٌ
Wa 'In Yaraw Kisfāan Mina As-Samā'i Sāqiţāan Yaqūlū Saĥābun Markūmun
And if they see a spectacle from the heaven, they will say: Piled clouds!
