10. Surah Yunus, Verse 45
وَيَوْمَ يَحْشُرُهُمْ كَاَنْ لَمْ يَلْبَثُٓوا اِلَّا سَاعَةً مِنَ النَّهَارِ يَتَعَارَفُونَ بَيْنَهُمْۜ قَدْ خَسِرَ الَّذ۪ينَ كَذَّبُوا بِلِقَٓاءِ اللّٰهِ وَمَا كَانُوا مُهْتَد۪ينَ
Wayawma yahshuruhum kaan lamyalbathoo illa saAAatan mina annahariyataAAarafoona baynahum qad khasira allatheena kaththaboobiliqa-i Allahi wama kanoo muhtadeen

On the Day He throngs them before Him for judgement, they shall bring back to the mind their life below appearing to them, then, as though it had lasted for no more than one hour of the time of daylight, and they shall recognize each other by the distinctive features, the appearance and the character. There and then shall the losers be those who denied Resurrection and the audience of Allah, who were misdirected in action and thought and had the wrong purpose and intention.
- Bijan Moeinian
The Day that people are raised, they will have the feeling that they lived on earth for only a few hours in order to become acquainted with each other.

The Day when He will gather them (in the next life,) they will feel as if they had not stayed (in the world) any longer than a fraction of a day. They will recognize each other. Losers, indeed, are those who deny that they will ever face Allah; they are not on the right path.

On the day He will gather them [it will be] as if they had not remained [in the world] except for an hour of the day getting acquainted with one another. They are certainly losers who deny the encounter with Allah, and they are not guided.
