Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner asks: Is the Veil among the attributes of Allah the Exalted, given what is mentioned in the hadith: “His Veil is light”?
Answer:
The Veil is not among the attributes of Allah, but the Veil is affirmed for Allah Mighty and Majestic between Him and His creation. He does not speak to anyone, not even the messengers, except through revelation, or from behind a Veil. This is in this world. Allah the Exalted has not made His Veil a barrier of light, Exalted and Majestic is He. Therefore, when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was asked about the Ascension, “Did you see your Lord?” he said, “I saw light, and I saw His Veil, light, Glorified and Exalted is He.” As for the Hereafter, the believers will see their Lord as an honor for them. Yes.
