The Disbelievers’ View of Their Lord on the Plain of Resurrection

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. You mentioned in your speech that the believers will see your Lord, while the disbelievers will not see Him as a reward for them. This vision occurs after the people of Paradise have entered Paradise and the people of the Fire have entered the Fire, at the Plain of Resurrection.

Answer:
There is no doubt that the vision of enjoyment, honor, and favor is exclusive to the believers; I have no doubt about that. The scholars differed on whether the disbelievers see their Lord on the Plain of Resurrection or not. There are two opinions among them: some hold that they will never see their Lord, while others hold that they will see Him on the plains, meaning the places of gathering and assembly. “Al-‘Aradat” means the place, and “al-‘Arasah” means the place; the Plains of Resurrection means the place of the Resurrection. Some scholars hold that the disbelievers see their Lord, but not a vision of prohibition and enjoyment; rather, they see Him in a vision of rebuke and humiliation for them. Yes.
Allah knows best, but the vision of the believers is mass-transmitted and specific, and there is no disagreement among the people of the Sunnah and the community regarding it.
