anymore with the opportunity of worshipping in the nights, fasting during the days and attending the gatherings of Zikr. (Hikayatayn aur Naseehatayn, pp. 132)

Hujjat-ul-Islam, Sayyiduna Imam Muhammad Ghazali رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه has said   that Sayyiduna ‘Aamir Bin ‘Abd-e-Qays رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه started weeping at the time of his death. When he رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه was asked the reason for his weeping, he رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه replied: I am not weeping for the fear of death or for the love of this world, but rather I am weeping for being separated from the afternoon thirst of the fasts of summer and Nafl Salah in the long nights of winter.

(‘Uyoon-ul-Hikayaat, part 2, pp. 324)

Sayyiduna Ibraheem Bin Adham رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه has said that one worshipper fell ill, so we visited him. He started feeling sad by sighing deeply. I asked him: Why are you feeling sad? He replied: For the night which I spent by sleeping and for the day I did not fast and for the moment I was heedless of the Zikr of Allah. (Hikayatayn aur Naseehatayn, pp. 133)

Dear Islamic brothers!

Just ponder over the difference between us and them as generally we, at the time of death, feel sad because of leaving this world and they feel sad because of being deprived of worship. We only think about
