Question:
May Allah grant you success. You mentioned, may Allah preserve you, that only the believers see Allah, and there is a hadith that all people will speak with Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, without an interpreter. How are these two reconciled?
Answer:
They will speak with Him, but the disbelievers will not see Him. Yes. It is said that they will see Him in the plains of the Resurrection; they will see Him in the plains of the Resurrection before they depart from the plains. Yes, the disbelievers and the believers will see Him there, but this is not a vision of honor and bestowal. Yes.
