52. 2. There, this worldly life will seem very short. کانھم یوم یرونھا لم یلبثوا الا عشیۃ او ضحہا۔ النازعات۔ When they see the Day of Judgment, the life of this world will seem to them as if they had stayed in it only for an evening or a morning. The same subject has been mentioned in other places as well. Some say that when the first trumpet is blown, all the dead will be resurrected in their graves. Then, at the second trumpet, they will be gathered in the field of resurrection for reckoning. There will be a gap of forty years between the two trumpets, and during this interval, they will not be given any punishment; they will be asleep. When they rise at the second trumpet, they will say, 'Alas, who has raised us from our sleeping places?' (قَالُوْا يٰوَيْلَنَا مَنْۢ بَعَثَنَا مِنْ مَّرْقَدِنَا ۆھٰذَا مَا وَعَدَ الرَّحْمٰنُ وَصَدَقَ الْمُرْسَلُوْنَ) 36. Ya-Sin:52) (Fath al-Qadeer) The first opinion is more sound.

[63] That is, when the Day of Resurrection comes and Allah commands you to rise after bringing you back to life and to present yourselves before Him, you will, without any hesitation, present yourselves before Him on your own. And all these matters will be forgotten by you. Then, on that day, since all veils will be lifted and every person will see that the only All-Powerful is Allah alone, therefore, you will not only respond to Allah’s call, but you will also present yourselves singing His praises. And on that day, this worldly life will seem to you like nothing but a pleasant dream.
