The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, this questioner says: The scholars (may Allah have mercy on them) mention that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saw his Lord with his heart. He asks: What is the meaning of this vision with the heart?
The Shaykh:
What?
The questioner:
He says: The scholars (may Allah have mercy on them) mention that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saw his Lord with his heart. So what is the meaning, or what is intended, by the vision with the heart?
The Shaykh:
This is the vision of the Mi'raj. When he (peace and blessings be upon him) was raised to the heavens and passed through the seven layers to the Lote Tree of the Utmost Boundary, some scholars say that he saw his Lord with his eye, while others say that he saw his Lord with his heart, not with his eye. Yes.
