How long is the "Day Of Judgment"?


How long is the "day" of Judgement day?

This was anwswered by Allah in His Holy Quran, in Surat Al Maaraj:

"سَأَلَ سَآئِلٌ بِعَذَابٍ وَاقِعٍ-1-"
“A questioner asked concerning a torment about to befall

"لِّلْكَافِرِينَ لَيْسَ لَهُ دَافِعٌ-2-"
Upon the disbelievers, which none can avert,

"مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ ذِي ٱلْمَعَارِجِ-3-"
From Allaah, the Lord of the ways of ascent.

"تَعْرُجُ ٱلْمَلاَئِكَةُ وَٱلرُّوحُ إِلَيْهِ فِي يَوْمٍ كَانَ مِقْدَارُهُ خَمْسِينَ أَلْفَ سَنَةٍ-4-"
The angels and the Rooh [Jibreel (Gabriel)] ascend to Him in a Day the measure whereof is fifty thousand years”
[Al-Ma’aarij 70:1-4]
i.e., this torment will befall the disbelievers on a day the length of which is equal to fifty thousand years.  the Last Day is one Day, and it will be hard for the kaafirs but easy for the believers

So, this day will be equivalent to 50,000 years of our measure.

Have you ever wondered what would your whole life be equivalent compared to the Judgment day?

Let  us do some simple maths:
If we assume that 50,000 years (earth time) = 24 hours (akheera time)
Then if you lived 100 years (eath time), that would be equal to 0.048hrs = 2.88mn !!!

So, Subhane Allah, if a person was to live 100 years on earth, these 100 years on earth would just look like 2.88mn on the judgement day. This is just about as how much it took you to read this page.

This is why we better understand the meaning of the ayah:
"وَيَوْمَ تَقُومُ ٱلسَّاعَةُ يُقْسِمُ ٱلْمُجْرِمُونَ مَا لَبِثُواْ غَيْرَ سَاعَةٍ كَذَلِكَ كَانُواْ يُؤْفَكُونَ"

"And the Day when the Last Hour is established, the evildoers will swear they did not stay (in the world) for more than an hour. They used to turn back (from truth) in the same manner (in the world as well)." [Al-Room 30:55]

May Allah Guide us to make the most use of our time during this very short life, and Grant us his Mercy on the Judgment day.
