Do the verses: "And on the Day He will gather them, [it will be] as if they had not remained [in the world] but an hour of a day," and "On the Day they see it, [it will be] as though they had not remained [in the world] except for an evening or a morning thereof," and "And they perceive not when they will be resurrected," mean that there is no torment in the grave, and that the Quran has been distorted?

One must believe that Allah preserved the Qur’an from alteration or distortion. The torment of the grave and the life of the Barzakh (interim period) are matters of the unseen that must be believed in as they are, without measuring them against worldly standards. The verses that reduce the duration of stay in this world upon witnessing the Hereafter do not mean that time completely stops for the deceased. Rather, they indicate the swift passing of this world and people's lack of true awareness of time in the Barzakh. This neither negates nor affirms the torment of the grave. The verse, "And they do not perceive when they will be resurrected," refers to the creatures' ignorance of the Hour's appointed time and has no relation to the issue of time stopping. A Muslim must adhere to what is stated in the Qur’an and Sunnah, refer anything that is unclear to trustworthy scholars, and turn away from the sophistries of the fabricators of falsehood.
