Is the duration of the unbeliever's reckoning different from that of the believer's reckoning on the Day of Resurrection?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Allah Almighty has specified the difficulty of the Day of Judgment for the disbelievers, making it easy for the believers. This means that the Day of Judgment will be long for the disbelievers and short for the believers. The verse: ﴿The Companions of Paradise, that Day, will be best in abode and best in place of repose﴾ indicates the completion of the reckoning in half a day. This is what Ibn Abbas, Ibn Mas'ud, Ikrimah, and Ibn Jubayr said. It also came in the hadith that the Day of Judgment for the believers will be as short as the time between Dhuhr and Asr prayers.
