Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: I hope that Shaykh Salih (may Allah preserve him) will inform us about the methodology of the people of the Sunnah and the community regarding looking at the Face of Allah (Mighty and Majestic) on the Day of Resurrection.
Answer:
The people of the Sunnah and the community affirm looking at the Face of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) on the Day of Resurrection, and this is among the most intense of their bliss; the most intense of the bliss they receive is more intense than the bliss of Paradise: their seeing of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). He will manifest Himself to them, and they will see Him directly with their eyes, just as they see the sun on a clear day with no clouds between them and it, and just as they see the moon on the night of the full moon, without any dimming. They will not be in doubt about seeing Him (Glorified and Exalted is He), as an honor for those who believed in Him in this world, even though they did not see Him, but rather they believed in His messengers and believed in His books, so they believed in Him (Glorified and Exalted is He). As for the disbelievers, they will be veiled from Allah on the Day of Resurrection. Allah the Exalted said:[Al-Mutaffifin 83:15] So if Allah veils the disbelievers from seeing Him, He permits it for the believers as an honor for them. Yes.

No! Indeed, from their Lord, that Day, they will be partitioned.
