62:6
Spiritual death is in fact a chain of progress and ascension of the soul, which is why the friends of God desire it so much. Proof of this is found in verse (62:6): "Say (O Muhammad): O you who profess Judaism, if you claim that you are the friends of Allah, then yearn for death, if you are truthful." This verse shows that to have a desire for spiritual death is a sign of friendship of God. Physical death can be desired even by an infidel who wishes to escape from worldly difficulties and such a person cannot be Allah’s friend. It should be noted that the desire for spiritual death can also be known by other names such as spiritual progress, Divine vision, attainment of the recognition of God.
