Al-Isra 17:52

On the Day when He will call you, and you will answer (His Call) with (words of) His Praise and Obedience, and you will think that you have stayed (in this world) but a little while!

On the Day when He calls you, you will respond with His praise, and you will realize that you stayed only a little.
