Yunus (Jonas)

45. “And on the Day He will muster them, as if they had tarried but an hour of the day, they will recognize each other.‌‌ Those will verily have perished who denied the meeting with Allah and were not guided a right.”

The greatness of the Day of Judgment is such that ones entire life prior to it will seem as if it lasted only a short time.

The Qur’an commands us to remember the Day when Allah will make them all rise from the dead and assemble them and they will have a feeling that their entire lives in this world had not exceeded more than one single day, so much that they would get to see and to know one another.

The verse in this regard says:

“And on the Day He will muster them, as if they had tarried but an hour of the day, they will recognize each other...”

Therefore, the real losers are those people whose negation of the Resurrection deprives them from the eternal benefits of the life of Hereafter, and are content with worldly pleasures. On the contrary, the believers enjoy both worldly divine blessings and a share in the Hereafter as well.

The verse continues saying:

“…‌‌ Those will verily have perished who denied the meeting with Allah and were not guided a right.”
