Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: Some people say that the Salaf differed on some matters of creed, such as whether the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) saw his Lord on the night of the Ascension, and that this occurred among the Companions. Is this statement correct?
Answer:
The questioner’s creed affirms the seeing in Paradise, that the believers will see Him in Paradise, but in this world no one sees Him, and the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) did not see Him, nor did Musa (peace be upon him) see Him,[Al-A'raf 7:143]. This is in this world. And there is a difference in creed regarding this. This difference is whether the seeing occurred for anyone in this world or not. This is not a difference in creed. The seeing of Allah in Paradise is agreed upon by the people of the Sunnah and the community, and no one has contradicted it in this.
