Is what the questioner feels—her wish for death and to meet Allah, and her lack of fear of it—from the whispers of Satan, or is it a sign of her intense love for Allah? And does the saying "None feels secure from Allah's plan except the transgressors" apply to her because of her lack of fear of death?
It is not permissible to use the term "ishq" (passionate love/ardent longing) for Allah Almighty. Rather, it is obligatory to confine oneself to "love for Allah Almighty" or "His love." A Muslim must accustom himself to yearning for the meeting with Allah and preparing for it, and looking forward to what Allah has prepared for the believers in the Hereafter, and among the greatest of these is seeing Him, glory be to Him. Yearning for the meeting with Allah necessitates not relying on this worldly life and considering it a station for preparation and provision for the meeting with Allah, while not wishing for death, due to the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) prohibition of it. Instead, a Muslim should say: "O Allah, keep me alive as long as life is better for me, and cause me to die if death is better for me."
