Here is the translation of the provided answer:

The Noble Verse in Surat Al-Anbiya mentions that on the Day of Resurrection, the earth and the heavens will be changed. Ancient exegetes stated that Allah will recreate the universe as He created it the first time, while modern exegetes believe that Allah will fold up the universe and then recreate it with a second explosion, just as it began the first time. The Noble Verse supports both the Big Bang and the Big Crunch theories.
