How do we reconcile seeing Allah with comprehending Him?

Question : How do we reconcile the statement of Allah (Mighty and Majestic) with the statement of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), just as the moon was left?
Answer : Yes, there is no contradiction between them, because this is a general seeing without comprehension, and comprehension means a complete grasp that is impossible to achieve, whereas seeing is established. Right now, we see the sun and we see the moon, but we do not comprehend them.
