DESIROUS OF MEETING ALLAH

1900

“Whosoever desires to meet Allah, Allah is pleased to meet him. Whosoever dislikes to meet Allah, Allah will dislike meeting him.

I, (Lady Ayesha, wife of the Prophet, Mother of Believers, may Allah be pleased with her, asked, ‘O Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, does this mean, dislike of death, because if so, we all dislike death.’ He answered, ‘That is not what I meant, what is meant by it is that when a believer is told of the Mercy of Allah, His Pleasure and His Paradise and is pleased with the prospect of meeting Allah, Allah is pleased to meet him. However, when an unbeliever is told of the punishment of Allah and His Anger he dislikes the prospect of meeting Allah, Allah dislikes meeting him.’"

Muslim with a chain up to Lady Ayesha, wife of the Prophet, Mother of Believers, may Allah be pleased with her, who related that the Messenger of Allah said this.
