When does death become a relief for a person?

The questioner:
May Allah reward you with good and do you good. When does death become a relief for a person, Shaykh Salih?

The Shaykh:
It becomes a relief for the believer. It becomes a relief for the believer from the trials, pains, and sorrows of this world, because he transitions from it, for this world is a prison for the believer and a paradise for the disbeliever. So the believer finds relief in death when he enters what Allah has prepared for him of honor and bliss, because in this world he is in distress from the trials and the dangers that befall a person in this life. Therefore, the death of the believer is good for him when the trials intensify and the trials that affect the Muslim’s religion become great. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you well.

The questioner:
So, given what has been mentioned, Shaykh Salih, does death become beloved to the believer?

The Shaykh:
By his nature, death is not beloved to the believer. However, upon death, he is given glad tidings, and this aversion is removed from him. This aversion is removed from him. Otherwise, the aversion to death is a natural trait in animals and in humans; it is a natural trait. But it is removed when he is given glad tidings of meeting Allah the Exalted. This aversion is removed, and he loves to meet Allah, so Allah loves to meet him.
