Hazrat Mufti Ebrahim Salejee (Daamat Barakaatuhu) mentioned:
When a true believer draws near to his end, Allah Ta‘ala unveils the scenes of the hereafter to him and the dunya (world) now becomes worthless in his sight. He now longs to meet his beloved, Allah Ta‘ala. When Hazrat Bilaal (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) drew close to his end, his wife began to cry in grief over the separation. He told her with joy that there is no need to grieve, for: “Ghadan nalqal ahibbah – Muhammadan wa hizbah” (Tomorrow I will meet my friends, Muhammad [sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam] and his companions).
