So fond of meeting his Lord

Someone asked Junaid Baghdadi (may Allah havemercy on him), "How was
it that Abu Sa'eed Khazzaz(he was a very pious man)was in such a joy
at the point of death?" Junaid replied, "He was so fond of meeting his
Lord that one could expect his soul to fly to heavens even before the
time of death to meet his Lord." Source:"Fadhail-e-sadaqaaPart II",
translated by Prof. Abdul Karim.
My dear friends, today we are so involved with the worldly affairs
that meeting Allah is the last thing we consider.
