Longing To Meet Thee

Every one of us has to die. Death is not the end of everything, it is only a transition into the next phase. In that phase we will stand face to face with Allah.

None of us likes to die; it is only human. But die we must, and only after death will the doors open to eternal life and blessings. If you understand the nature and reality of this-worldly life, if you know that you can receive your full wages only upon meeting Allah, then you will develop two feelings:

One, a desire to meet Him, however you may fear Him on account of your own misdeeds.

Two, the preparedness to sacrifice everything that belongs to this-world for what you will earn in reward in the Hereafter.

One of the dua the Prophet, blessings and peace be on him, used to make says:

Allah! Grant me the delight of looking at Thy noble face and a longing to meet Thee.
(Nasai, Ahmad, Hakim

Great post... one should always keep the reality of temporary life in this world in mind as well as the eternal life in the hereafter especially when faced with sorrow and grief. We tend to forget the temporary nature of our and our loved ones’ lives in this world, but we are humbled when a reminder is sent to us.

May Allah (SWT) protect us all and keep us all on the straight path that is conveyed to us by His messenger Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). May Allah (SWT) give patience and fortitude to the families of the bereaved and wash us and our loved ones who have passed away from all sins and grant us all an easy passage to Jannah. Ameen.
