Commentary
And when he mentioned the effect of the lower world, he mentioned the higher one and said: ﴿And the heaven will be split open﴾, meaning this occurrence is due to the severity of that day. [And since a thing does not split open except for a flaw in it, this is the reason for his saying, confirming that. -] ﴿So on that Day﴾, meaning when the event occurs, ﴿it will be weak﴾, meaning it will be weak, collapsing, and light, not able to hold firm.
