کوتاهی عمر دنیا و برزخ در برابر قیامت

بدون شک مدت توقف انسان‌ها در عالم برزغ طولانی می‌رسد. یه کوتاهی مدت درنگ آنها قبل از برانگیخته شدن - اعم از دنیا و برزخ - است و هنگامی که حکم خلود و ابدیت برای آنها روشن می شودء زمان درنگ در دنیا و برزخ در نزدشان بسیار کوتاه به نظر دارند که یک روز اشاره به کمترین عدد تک رقمی است و از این رو به مدت کمتری اشاره می‌کند. > **Cited sources** (grade before any load-bearing use): Tafsīr al-Qummī.
