وَمَاتَ عَلَى الْإِسْلَامِ
And died upon Islam.
The definition explicitly adds dying upon Islam to the condition of meeting in faith. A physical meeting or a religious association at one point does not replace this requirement.
The conditions of meeting the Prophet ﷺ, belief and a Muslim end together form the definition; leaving one out makes the account incomplete.
