الحمد لله و الصلاة والسلام على سيدنا محمد  وعلى اله وصحبه وسلم

مَنْ أَحَبَّ لِقَاءَ اللهِ أَحَبَّ اللهُ لِقَاءَهُ وَمَنْ كَرِهَ لِقَاءَ اللهِ كَرِهَ اللهُ لِقَا 

 

 

Whoever desires and looks forward to meeting Allah Suhanahu Wa Ta'la,  Allah would love meeting him. And whoever dislikes meeting Allah Suhanahu Wa Ta'la, Allah will dislike meeting him. When Aisha Radi Allahu 'anha heard this , Ayesha Radi Allahu 'anha  would question. If he doesn't understand something, she would question. So she told Rasulullah ﷺ ,

ومن منا لا يكرها الموت ؟

''And who of us doesn't dislike death ?'' We dislike death ! Does that meaning we dislike death ? Rasulullah SA: said, '' ليس كذلك''  This is not what I mean! . Rasulullah ﷺ says,

 

ولَكِنَّ المُؤْمِنَ إذا حَضَرَهُ المَوْتُ بُشِّرَ برِضْوانِ اللَّهِ وكَرامَتِهِ، فليسَ شَيءٌ أحَبَّ إلَيْهِ ممَّا أمامَهُ؛ فأحَبَّ لِقاءَ اللَّهِ، وأَحَبَّ اللَّهُ لِقاءَهُ،

Rasulullahﷺ says, but the believer when he is about to die. He will be given the news that Allah is pleased with him and that Allah will honor him. So the most beloved thing to him becomes his future what is laying ahead. And he would love to meet Allah Suhanahu Wa Ta'la, so Allah would loves to meet him !

                                                                       

وإنَّ الكافرَ إذا بُشِّرَ بعَذابِ اللَّهِ وعُقُوبَتِهِ، فليسَ شَيءٌ أكْرَهَ إلَيْهِ ممَّا أمامَهُ؛ كَرِهَ لِقاءَ اللَّهِ، وكَرِهَ اللَّهُ لِقاءَهُ.

But the non-believer when he was about to die. He is given the news that Allah Suhanahu Wa Ta'la  is angry with him and that he will punish him. So the most disliked thing to him becomes what is facing him ahead. So he dislikes meeting Allah Suhanahu Wa Ta'la and Allah  Suhanahu Wa Ta'la dislikes meeting him.

 

And even after the person dies ! And he is carried on the Janazah. Rasulullah ﷺ says in a Hadith narrated by Al Bukhari,

 

إذَا وُضِعَتِ الجِنَازَةُ، فَاحْتَمَلَهَا الرِّجَالُ علَى أعْنَاقِهِمْ، فإنْ كَانَتْ صَالِحَةً قالَتْ: قَدِّمُونِي، قَدِّمُونِي، وإنْ كَانَتْ غيرَ صَالِحَةٍ قالَتْ: يا ويْلَهَا، أيْنَ يَذْهَبُونَ بهَا؟ يَسْمَعُ صَوْتَهَا كُلُّ شيءٍ إلَّا الإنْسَانَ، ولو سَمِعَهَا الإنْسَانُ لَصَعِقَ

asulullah ﷺ says, when the Janazah is placed and the man carry it on their shoulders, if it is a righteous person ! If it is a righteous person it could say, go as fast as you can. This person is in hurry to go to grave. Because he is anticipating the Reward of Allah Suhanahu Wa Ta'la.

 

And Rasulullah ﷺ says,  if it is otherwise (an evil person) . Then this person would say, ''Woe to it, where are you taking me ?'' And Rasulullah ﷺ says, '', Everyone will hear that sound except the human beings.'' And if human beings were able to hear it , they would die due to that shock ! That shock cause them Death ! If they would hear that sound of person saying, ''Do not take me there! Where are you taking me? Woe to this person ! where are you taking me?''

 

Rasulullah ﷺ said that if the people were able to hear that they would die ! They would die due to the shock ! Shock! A shock is Death, due to the shock! This is the reality that we don't know,  this is the reality. Rasulullah ﷺ says, ''If it wasn't the fact that none of you would burry the dead.'' I would have asked Allah Suhanahu Wa Ta'la to allow you to hear the sound which are the sounds of the people in the grave ( their voices).  Rasulullah ﷺ said, ''I could ask him to allow to hear the voices of the punishment of the grave. But I am afraid if I do so, that none of you would burry their dead.

 

صلى الله على سيدنا محمد وعلى اله وصحبه وسلم تسليما كثيرا
