Al-Baqara 2:210

البقرة

هَلْ يَنظُرُونَ إِلَّآ أَن يَأْتِيَهُمُ ٱللَّهُ فِى ظُلَلٍ مِّنَ ٱلْغَمَامِ وَٱلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةُ وَقُضِىَ ٱلْأَمْرُ ۚ وَإِلَى ٱللَّهِ تُرْجَعُ ٱلْأُمُورُ

Meaning

Are they waiting that Allah should come to them in the shadows of clouds[1], along with the angels? But then the matter would be decided. And to Allah return all matters.

[1] On the Day of Judgment, Allah will come in the shadows of clouds – in a manner befitting His Majesty – to pass judgment among His creation. His coming is affirmed, as He has stated, without asking how and without likening it to the coming of His creation.
