The Contradiction in the Prophet’s (peace and blessings be upon him) Vision of Paradise
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And I, the Shaykh, tell you, may Allah guide you, how we seek refuge between the gift of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) in Paradise, between this world, and his people (peace and blessings be upon him); in it is nothing that saddens us or weighs upon our hearts.
Answer:
There is no contradiction, because the Messenger did not see everything in it; there are things in it that Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) has concealed,[As-Sajdah 32:17] the return of deeds, and even if you say that the Messenger saw that, it is among his special characteristics (peace and blessings be upon him) and among his miracles (peace and blessings be upon him). He saw Paradise and Hellfire while he was on earth, while he was praying the eclipse prayer; he saw Paradise and he saw Hellfire while he was praying the eclipse prayer for his companions. This is among his special characteristics (peace and blessings be upon him), among his miracles. Yes.
