Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the meaning of the saying of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him): “You will not crowd each other in seeing Him”?
Answer:
It means that you will not squeeze one another, just as if you were looking at something in this world, if it were one thing, you would compete, each one wanting to see it, you would jostle, each one stretching out to see it, it is one thing, it is not multiple. As for Allah (Mighty and Majestic), they will all see Him without any crowding or any jostling.
Each one will see Him with peace of mind, and he gave an example of this with the sun. You see the sun without crowding. People do not crowd from one place to see the sun or the moon, as you see the moon on the night of the full moon, they do not crowd, each one sees it. If this is the case with the created, then with the Creator it is even more so. Yes.
