Discussion of those who deny the seeing of Allah.

The Shaykh : Among the matters established by mass-transmitted reports is the seeing of the believers of Allah (Mighty and Majestic). No one from the Salaf (the earliest generations) of the Ummah (the Muslim community) denied it. The denial only occurred after the completion of the three blessed centuries. There is no doubt that the one who denies it is likely to be deprived of it on the Day of Resurrection and not see his Lord, because he believes that Allah is not seen, even though Allah has affirmed this for Himself in His Book, and His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) has affirmed it for him. Then we return to our lesson from last night, and we were speaking about what? About the categories of those entitled to receive zakah (the obligatory alms).
