The Holy Quran 10:45 — Surah Yunus

Arabic text

وَيَوْمَ يَحْشُرُهُمْ كَأَن لَّمْ يَلْبَثُوٓا۟ إِلَّا سَاعَةً مِّنَ ٱلنَّهَارِ يَتَعَارَفُونَ بَيْنَهُمْ ۚ قَدْ خَسِرَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَذَّبُوا۟ بِلِقَآءِ ٱللَّهِ وَمَا كَانُوا۟ مُهْتَدِينَ

Translation

(On) The Day (of Qiyaamah) when We will gather them (all the people), it will seem (to them) as if they had stayed (in this world or in the grave for) only a moment of a day (because the Day of Qiyaamah will be so long and so difficult, people will forget the time they spent in the world and in the grave). (When people will be raised on the Day of Qiyaamah,) They will recognise each other (but will be unable to help each other at all). Truly those people are at a loss who reject meeting with Allaah (on the Day of Qiyaamah) and they will not be rightly guided.

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

The reality of worldly life: that is, on seeing the terrifying horrors and events of the Gathering, the enjoyment and comfort of their whole lifetime will appear so contemptible and so little that it will seem as if they had stayed in the world no more than an hour.
