Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Those who deny the vision cite Allah’s words to Musa: “You will not see Me.” How do we answer this?
Answer:
In this world. “You will not” does not negate it in the Hereafter; it applies only to this world. As for the Hereafter, the evidence has been established that He is seen. So “you will not” means: you will not see Me in this world.
