Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is seeing Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) on the plains of resurrection exclusive to the believers, or is it general for all people?
Answer:
No, it is not. On the plains of resurrection, the disbelievers may see Him, but it is not a vision of honor; rather, it is a vision of threat and clarification of what they denied in this world, namely that they will see Him in reality (Glorified and Exalted is He). It is not a vision of honor, but rather establishing the argument against them. Yes.
