Is the believers' vision of their Lord in Paradise constant at all times?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Regarding the saying of Allah the Exalted: [Al-Mutaffifin 83:23], and the "gazing" that some of the Imams interpreted as gazing at Allah the Exalted. Then there is a hadith: , even though you have cited this hadith in *Da'if al-Jami'*. Is there a description of the believers' vision of their Lord in Paradise? A hadith has also come that on Friday in Paradise, the believers gaze at their Lord.
Another questioner : Peace be upon you
The Shaykh : And upon you be peace.
The questioner : So how is the interpretation of the verse[Al-Mutaffifin 83:23]? They are gazing from the thrones [Al-Mutaffifin 83:23], and yet there is a day specifically designated for gazing, and the hadith reported on this is also weak. How is this reconciled?
The questioner : May Allah forgive you. Are you asking about the original principle of the believers' vision of their Lord, or are you asking about the times at which they gaze at their Lord?
The questioner : The second one.
The Shaykh : Or are you asking about the number of times they gaze at their Lord? Your question has many branches. If you had specified your question first, second, and third, if the matter is as we imagine, it would be clearer for those present in question and answer. If there are three questions in your inquiry, then start with the most important, then the next most important!
The questioner : Regarding the saying of Allah, Blessed and Exalted:[Al-Mutaffifin 83:23], is this constant in Paradise? Shall we consider this the first question?
The Shaykh : Of course.
The questioner : I mean constant in terms of time.
The Shaykh : Halimah has returned to her old habit! My brother, specify your question. May Allah reward you. Do you believe in the original principle of the vision?
The questioner : Yes, of course.
The Shaykh : So what is your question?
The questioner : The question is that this gazing is constant at all times in Paradise.
The Shaykh : We do not know if it is constant at all times.
The questioner : So the matter is not so?
The Shaykh : Why a question like this?
