Ruling on missing a person who has died

 

I wanted to know if it is wrong to miss someone who has died?

Praise be to Allaah.
 

 

We do not think there is anything wrong with missing a person
who has died, even though that implies wishing to meet him and be close to
him, although one is alive and the other person is dead, and this feeling
serves no real purpose. But if we say that we wish we could meet the Prophet
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and the Sahaabah (may
Allaah be pleased with them), and the Taabi’een and the scholars, this
feeling is the hope of meeting them in Paradise, and the person who wishes
that he could meet these great people has to strive hard so that his Lord
will be pleased with him and will admit him to Paradise with them, so that
his longing will be fulfilled and will come to pass. This is the good result
of longing to see the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon
him) and the Sahaabah. This is the way in which the Sahaabah missed the
Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) after he died. For
example, Muslim narrated that Anas said: “After the Messenger of Allaah
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) died, Abu Bakr (may Allaah be
pleased with him) said to ‘Umar, ‘Let us go and visit Umm Ayman as the
Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) used to
visit her. When they came to her, she wept, and they said, ‘Why are you
crying? What is with Allaah is better for His Messenger (peace and
blessings of Allaah be upon him).’ She said, ‘I am not weeping because I do
not know that what is with Allaah is better for His Messenger (peace
and blessings of Allaah be upon him). Rather I am weeping because the
Revelation from heaven has come to an end.’ That moved them deeply and they
began to weep with her.”

(Muslim, 2454)  

But if this missing a deceased friend or relative makes a
person feel grief and despair – and sometimes distress – and makes him
object to the will and decree of Allaah, then this should not be allowed and
should be denounced and forbidden, because this may lead to the development
of bad characteristics which Islam strives to keep its followers away from.
The Muslim should be happy and content with the will and decree of Allaah and His rule and law.

 And Allaah knows best.

Important note to learn and Read Quran online

The Holy Quran is the word of Allah; it has been sent down to guide us and the guidance can online be gained through reading quran online. No other book can be like holy quran. As you come to the learn tajweed quran, Allah speaks to you and reading Arabic Quran is to hear Him, even to converse with Him, and to walk in His ways. So it is must for us as a Muslim to learn and do quran memorization by heart and the Quran tutor should teach the kids from quran qaida and then teaching quran online along with the quran tafseer and let the kids memorize quran so that we as Muslim could learn quran tajweed rules and then understand the quran tafseer  It is the encounter of life with the Life-giver. 'God - there is no god but He, the Ever-living, the Self-subsisting (by whom all subsist)  He has sent down upon you the Book with the Truth ... as a guidance unto mankind ...' (Al 'Imran 3: 2-3 learn quran recitation). So we should always remember the guidance of Allah and we should be listening to quran online along with obeying the commandments of Allah so let us join hands to learn the Koran and let our kids do quran memorization and learn the teaching of quran education online and apply them in there life there is kids quran lesson available online as well
