One day of Day of reckoning is equivalent to 50,000 years on earth

Shaykh Muhammad ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him) said:  
The Day of Reckoning is one day, but it is a day whose length is equal to fifty thousand years, as Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): 
“A questioner asked concerning a torment about to befall
Upon the disbelievers, which none can avert,
From Allaah, the Lord of the ways of ascent.
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. 
In Saheeh Muslim it is narrated from the hadeeth of Abu Hurayrah (may Allaah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “There is no owner of gold or silver who does not pay what is due on it (i.e., zakaah) but when the Day of Resurrection comes, plates of fire will be prepared for him and with them will be branded his forehead, his flanks and his back, and every time they cool down they will be reheated, on a Day the length of which is equal to fifty thousand years, until judgement is passed among the people.” 
This long Day is the day that will be hard for the kaafirs as Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): 
“and it will be a hard Day for the disbelievers”
[al-Furqaan 25:26] 
“Truly, that Day will be a Hard Day —
Far from easy for the disbelievers”
[al-Muddaththir 74:9-10]

The Last Person to Enter Paradise

The person who has the least blessings in Paradise is the last person to enter paradise. He will think that he is the most blessed among the dwellers of paradise. Abu Sa’eed al-Khudri (may Allaah be pleased with him) said that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “The lowest of people in status in Paradise will be a man whose face Allaah turns away from the Fire towards Paradise, and shows him a tree giving shade. He will say, ‘O Lord, bring me closer to that tree so that I may be in its shade… Then he will enter his house [in Paradise] and his two wives from among al-hoor al-‘iyn will come in and will say to him, ‘Praise be to Allaah who brought you to life for us and brought us to life for you.’ Then he will say, ‘No one has been given what I have been given.’” (Narrated by Muslim, no. 275)

Description of AL-HOOR AL-IYN (Women of Paradise)

The description of al-hoor al-‘iyn is mentioned in more than one place in the Book of Allaah, such as the following: 1 – Allaah says, describing the reward of the people of Paradise (interpretation of the meaning): “And (there will be) Hoor (fair females) with wide lovely eyes (as wives for Al-Muttaqoon – the pious). 23. Like unto preserved pearls” [al-Waaqi’ah 56:22, 23] al-Sa’di (may Allaah have mercy on him)said: “ And (there will be) Hoor (fair females) with wide lovely eyes”. Al-Hawra’ is a woman in whose eyes are lined with kohl, beautiful and bright. Al-‘iyn refers to beautiful and huge eyes. The beauty of eyes in the female is one of the greatest signs of beauty. “ Like unto preserved pearls ” means, as if they are pure, white, shining pearls, which are covered and protected from people’s eyes, the wind and the sun.
