وَفُتِحَتِ ٱلسَّمَآءُ فَكَانَتْ أَبْوَٰبًا Qur’an An-Naba (78:19)
Wafuti h ati a l ssam a o fak a nat abw a b a n
and when the skies are opened and become [as wideflung] gates;10
  - Mohammad Asad
Mohammad Asad

Allegorically, "its mysteries will be opened to man's understanding" - thus further amplifying the concept of "the Day of Distinction between the true and the false".

The sky shall be opened as if there were doors.
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
The sky will be 'split' open, becoming 'many' gates,
  - Mustafa Khattab
Mustafa Khattab
And the heaven is opened and becometh as gates,
  - Marmaduke Pickthall
Marmaduke Pickthall
And the heavens shall be opened as if there were doors 5898
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali
Abdullah Yusuf Ali

A sign that the present order of things will have ceased to exist, and a new world will have come into being. Such a figure applies to the heavens in this verse and to the earth in the next verse. The mystery of what is beyond the heavens will have vanished through the doors which will then be opened. The solid mountains, as we suppose them to be, will have vanished like an unsubstantial mirage.
