The Holy Quran 79:46 — Surah An-Nazi'at

Arabic text

كَأَنَّهُمْ يَوْمَ يَرَوْنَهَا لَمْ يَلْبَثُوٓا۟ إِلَّا عَشِيَّةً أَوْ ضُحَىٰهَا

Translation

The day when they see it (Qiyaamah), it will seem (to them) as if they lived (tarried in this world and in the grave for) only an evening or a morning (because Qiyaamah will be so long and dreadful).

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

The life of this world will seem equal to one morning or one evening: that is, right now they are clamouring, “Why is the Day of Resurrection so late in coming? Why does it not come quickly?” But then they will realise that it came very quickly and there was no delay at all in between.
