Are we looking to meet Allah?
Aisha reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Whoever loves to meet Allah, Allah loves to meet him. Whoever hates to meet Allah, Allah hates to meet him.”
I said, “O Prophet of Allah, all of us hate death and are averse to it.” The Prophet said, “It is not like this. Rather, when a believer is given glad tidings of the mercy of Allah, His pleasure, and Paradise, he loves to meet Allah and Allah loves to meet him. When a disbeliever is given news of punishment by the hand of Allah and hardship to be imposed by Him, he hates to meet Allah and Allah hates to meet him.”
Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 157
