However, related to our topic, there is a Holy Verse where Allah -azwj Warns the pretentious people to wish for the death if they can escape the accountability: ………………..….فَتَمَنَّوُا الْمَوْتَ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ صَادِقِينَ {662:} Then wish for the death if you were truthful’ [62:6] An unjust, unholy person will never wish for the death, but a Believer will – the Momin, upon completion of his term, would love to meet with his Lord -azwj .
As Prophet Yahya -as says: Where is the fleeing and where is the staying, O Allah ‑azwj , except to You -azwj – وَ رُوِيَ أَنَّ يَحْيَى بْنَ زَكَرِيَّا ع كَانَ يُفَكِّرُ فِي طُولِ اللَّيْلِ فِي أَمْرِ الْجَنَّةِ وَ النَّارِ فَيَسْهَرُ لَيْلَهُ وَ لَا يَأْخُذُهُ نَوْمٌ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ عِنْدَ الصَّبَّاحِ اللَّهُمَّ أَيْنَ الْمَفَرُّ وَ أَيْنَ الْمُسْتَقَرُّ اللَّهُمَّ إِلَّا إِلَيْكَ.
And it is reported, ‘Yahya -as Bin Zakariya -as was thinking in the length of the night regarding the matter of Paradise and Fire. He -as stayed awake his -as night and the sleep did not seize him -saww . Then he -as said in the morning: ‘O Allah -azwj !
Where is the fleeing and where is the staying, O Allah ‑azwj , except to You -azwj !’’ [2] Below we learn from is a beautiful and detailed Hadith-e-Qudsi, which makes a Believer not only to wish for the meeting his Lord -azwj but also guides him/her to become a truthful and loyal Believer.
عَنْ كِتَابِ إِرْشَادِ الْقُلُوبِ لِلدَّيْلَمِيِ، رُوِيَ عَنْ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ص سَأَلَ رَبَّهُ سُبْحَانَهُ لَيْلَةَ الْمِعْرَاجِ فَقَالَ يَا رَبِّ أَيُّ الْأَعْمَالِ أَفْضَلُ From the book ‘Irshad Al Quloub’ of Al Daylami – ‘It is reported from Amir Al-Momineen -asws that the Prophet -saww asked his -saww Lord -azwj the Glorious on the night of the Ascension (Mi’raj). He -saww said: ‘O Lord -azwj !
