Ruling on missing a person who has died

Ruling on missing a person who has died
I wanted to know if it is wrong to miss someone who has died?

From Quran Blog 

And important note that we want to discuss and share with you its is about reading Quran and Reciting Holy Quran to understand it, Ramadan is the month when the beautiful the Holy Quran has been revealed.  A miracle by the creator of the worlds, Allah (SWT)  Should we not glorify him by reading the gift he has sent down for us and learn Arabic Quran by heart  to feel the power of it and learn is with translation to understand it and let our heart fill will tears of glory and wash away our sins  “Will they not meditate on the Quran, or are there locks on the hearts”, read Holy Quran, Surah Muhammad, Verse 24.

End from holy Quran reciter blog

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.
