The meeting with God actually means the receiving of His reward or punishment
When I was in the university, I had one of my friends having some cardiac problem; doctors thought he had a septal defect in the heart, but it was later found that he in fact had a hydatid cyst in the heart (may be in addition to his septal defect); so they told him he should undergo surgery and he prepared himself, and he discussed with me (I was a student at that time), so an aya of the Quran came to my mind
Quran 29: 5, which means
Whoso looks forward to be in [the neighborhood of] God f, [let him know that] the appointed God's [reward] is surely coming [after death g]; He is the All-Hearing h, the All-Knowing i
.................................................. ...............
f And to live in the spiritual heavens, then let him worship God alone, and then he will not need any intercessor
g When man will go from this life of the World to the Afterlife
h Of their prayer
i About their piety

Anyhow, that friend died on the operation table .. I bring this tale in order to manifest about the literal "meeting with God" means meeting His reward and be in His neighborhood in the kingdom of heavens or Paradise
Because God is Glorious and above sitting and talking directly to creatures
In fact, that friend when he heard me reciting this aya, he said: Whatever God does, I am accepting His decree
Which indicates his deep faith and high morale, may God's mercy be on his soul
This meaning of the "meeting with God" and of "returning or resorting to God" at last is so frequent in the Glorious Quran, like this aya
Quran 24: 42, which means
And to God belongs the kingdom of the heavens and the earth f, and to God shall be the return [of souls g
.................................................. ...........
f So He offers out of His kingdom, to whomever He pleases, and takes it away from whomever He wants
g So He will judge them with justice

This aya also speaks about the "meeting with God", which means the return to the Next Life and the ethereal world
Quran 10: 7-8, which means
Those who look not for the meeting with Us a [in the Next Life
and are pleased with this life in the World b
and are contented therewith c
and who are heedless d of Our signs e
Such [men] will have the Fire as their home [on Doomsday] according to what [sins] they earned [in the life of the World
.................................................. ................
a It means: those who disbelieve in Paradise and the prosperity in the Next Life: they do not hope for the prosperity, because they don't believe in that
b But not with the Next Life
c i.e. they are 'assured and contented' with the life of the World; so they say: "There will not be any Judgment, neither any punishment nor any chastisement; but it is only a threatening and warning with which Mohammed frightens us, which is not true in fact
d It means: they are heedless of contemplating and pondering about the signs of God
e They do not think in order to realize and differentiate between the truth and the falsehood
