The Position of the Mu'tazilah and the Khawarij Regarding the Saying of Allah the Exalted: “And faces, that Day, will be radiant, looking toward their Lord.”

The Shaykh : But we are among those who oppose Allah and the Messenger, in the name of what? This is how we understand it. This is the reason for the occurrence of the misguided sects in contradicting the Shari'ah in many matters of creed, let alone in jurisprudential rulings. I usually give a simple example to clarify the importance of this qualification that we derived from the previous verse and from the first hadith. Give a simple example: a verse in the Noble Qur'an, one of the clearest verses in explaining the divine intent, which is the saying of Allah, Blessed and Exalted is He, in describing the people of Paradise in Paradise: What was the position of the Khawarij and the Mu'tazilah regarding this verse, which is explicit in that among the blessings of Allah, Blessed and Exalted is He, upon the believers in Paradise—indeed, it is the greatest blessing by which Allah bestows upon the people of Paradise—is that they see their Lord on the Day of Resurrection. When they see Him, Blessed and Exalted is He, they forget all the pleasure of Paradise. What did the Mu'tazilah and the Khawarij do toward this verse? Did they deny it? No, they did not deny it; because if they had denied it, they would have exited the religion, just as a hair exits dough.
