Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever desires to meet Allah, Allah also desires to meet him; and whoever dislikes to meet Allah, Allah also dislikes to meet him. We said: O Messenger of Allah! All of us dislike death. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: (What you are thinking of) this is not disliking death. The matter is that when the time of a believer’s death approaches, an angel comes from Allah with glad tidings and informs him of his good end; at that time, meeting Allah becomes dearest to him, so Allah also desires to meet him. But when the time of a wicked or disbeliever’s death approaches, the one who comes to him informs him of his evil end, so he begins to dislike meeting Allah, and Allah does not desire to meet him.
