Some people dislike this transient world and long for that which is with Allah of reward, and who love to meet Allah. Hence some of the righteous forefathers said: (The gift of the believer is death) For his heart is attached to the Hereafter. Yet despite his dislike for this world, he carries out his duties towards Allah and His slaves and he strives to do good as much as he can. Allah says (interp of meaning): (And worship your Lord until there comes unto you the certainty [i.e. death]" [al-Hijr 15:99]
