Is the servant's saying: "O Allah, hasten for me the pleasure of gazing upon Your Noble Face" considered a wish for death?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The supplication mentioned involves wishing for death because the vision of Allah's Noble Face is only possible in Paradise after death. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, warned against wishing for death, as it interrupts a believer's deeds, and their lifespan only increases them in goodness.
