Allah Loves To Meet You

And this is why the Prophet ﷺ said:

مَنْ أَحَبَّ لِقَاءَ اللَّهِ أَحَبَّ اللَّهُ لِقَاءَهُ

(Sahih al-Bukhari, Hadith 6507; Sahih Muslim, Book 44, Hadith 2683)

Whoever loves to meet Allah, Allah loves to meet them. Can you imagine — Allah loves to meet you? If you desire to meet Him.

Can you imagine this? Can you imagine that one of the Prophet's companions — the Prophet ﷺ asks him, or rather he asks the Prophet ﷺ, "When is the Day of Judgment?" The Prophet ﷺ asks him:

مَاذَا أَعْدَدْتَ لَهَا؟

What did you prepare for it? Don't ask me when it is — are you ready? What did you prepare for the Day of Judgment? I can ask you the same question: are you ready for the Day of Judgment if it came now?

And this man simply says one thing:

حُبُّ اللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ

I love Allah and His Messenger. And the Prophet ﷺ gives a beautiful response:

الْمَرْءُ مَعَ مَنْ أَحَبَّ

You will be with the one that you love.
