What is the validity of the phrase: “We have not seen Allah, but we have known Him by reason”?

Question:
May Allah reward you. Shaykh, is the phrase “We have not seen Allah, but we have known Him by reason” correct?

Answer:
“We have not seen Him” means in this world. As for the Hereafter, the believers will see their Lord, as indicated by the mass-transmitted evidence from the Qur’an and the Sunnah. The believers will see their Lord (Mighty and Majestic). As for this world, Allah is not seen; He is not seen in this world because of the weakness of people’s faculties. They are unable to see Allah because of their weakness. As for the Hereafter, Allah will grant them the strength to see their Lord and to take pleasure and delight in seeing Him (Glorified and Exalted is He). Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) has been known by reason, by transmitted reports, by the evidence of the Qur’an and the Prophetic hadiths, and by intellects and innate dispositions. Yes.
