Why any one wish to die?
There are two reasons for this desire.
1- Because of the trouble in which he is involved,and wishing death in this case means unacceptance of the GOD will.Being patient is better.
Anas bin Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, reported:
Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: None of you should make a plea for death because of the trouble in which he is involved, but if there is no other way, then say: O Allah, keep me alive as long as there is goodness in life for me and bring death to me when there is goodness in death for me.
2-Having no desire in the evanescent pleasures of life,in this case he must know that life is his way to the heaven.
Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, reported:
Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: None among you should make a wish for death, and do not invoke Allah for it before it comes, for when anyone of you dies, he ceases (to do good) deeds and the life of a believer is not prolonged except for doing good.
