Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: Did Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) see his Lord and speak to Him as He spoke to Moses (peace be upon him)?
Answer:
He spoke to Him, yes. Muhammad spoke to his Lord on the night of the Mi'raj, and He addressed him regarding the obligation of the prayers. Allah made them obligatory upon him in the Mi'raj, above the heavens, and He negotiated with him until they were reduced from fifty prayers a day and night to five prayers a day and night. So yes, Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) spoke to his Lord on the night of the Mi'raj. As for seeing Him, he did not see Him. He was asked (peace and blessings be upon him): “Did you see your Lord?” He said: meaning His veil is light, and no one can see Him, Glorified and Exalted is He. His veil is light, Glorified and Exalted is He. Yes.

May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh,
