Mention of the remaining evidence for seeing Allah the Exalted on the Day of Resurrection.
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : And among the evidence from the Qur'an is the saying of Allah, Blessed and Exalted is He: [Al-Mutaffifin 83:23] This is in Surat al-Mutaffifin, and at its beginning is: [Al-Mutaffifin 83:15] when [Al-Mutaffifin 83:23] meaning they look at whoever the disbelievers have been veiled from, and He is Allah, Mighty and Majestic. And so is the pleasure that Allah has prepared for them. As for the Sunnah, listen, my brother, to the words of the one who knows Allah best, to the words of the one who is most eloquent in what he speaks, to the words of the one who knows best, to the words of the one who is most sincere in advising mankind, to the words of the one who is most truthful in speech. How many times, my brother, do I say to you: to the words of the one who knows Allah best.
The student: ... .
The Shaykh : Complete it. Rest. Who will complete it for us? May Allah bless you.
The student: ... .
The Shaykh : And to the one who is most truthful in speech. These are two descriptions.
The student: ... .
The Shaykh : What?
The student: ... .
The Shaykh : What does it say?
The student: ... .
The Shaykh : She is the most knowledgeable, the most knowledgeable of creation about Allah. It preceded.
The student: ... .
The Shaykh : Yes, and to the one who is most sincere in advising creation. Correct. One remains. Yes, stretch your legs. And to the one who is most eloquent of creation. Correct. Yes, rest. It is gathered in the speech of the Messenger, peace and blessings be upon him. It is gathered in his speech: the perfection of knowledge, the perfection of truthfulness, the perfection of sincerity, and the perfection of eloquence. Listen to what he says:Jami` at-Tirmidhi 2554Sahih (Darussalam) meaning everyone sees Him in his place. The sin here is for the realization of what it contains, meaning it conveys realization. Jami` at-Tirmidhi 2554Sahih (Darussalam) Does anyone doubt if the moon on the night of the full moon is filled with light? Does anyone doubt that this moon? Answer, everyone. No one doubts. We see our Lord, and we ask Allah to make this a reality for us. We see Him as we see the moon on the night of the full moon. Sahih al-Bukhari 7436 meaning no harm will befall you. And in a wording: you will not be crowded in seeing Him, meaning some of you will not be pushed to others saying "look, look," because the matter is clear like the moon on the night of the full moon. Then he said: Jami` at-Tirmidhi 2551Sahih (Darussalam) What are the two prayers? The brother.
The student: ... .
The Shaykh : Fajr and 'Asr. Fajr before the setting of the sun.
The student: ... .
The Shaykh : Before what?
The student: ... .
The Shaykh : Good. And 'Asr?
The student: ... .
The Shaykh : May Allah bless you. Good. It is as if the Messenger is encouraging us to these two prayers. As for the first, it is because people are sleeping, and no one rises from his pleasant sleep except one who is sincere to Allah, Mighty and Majestic.
And as for the second, it is for its honor, the prayer of 'Asr, for its honor.[Al-Baqarah 2:238] Can anyone say that the meaning is that we will see the reward of our Lord as we see the moon? It is impossible, except for one who turns his heart away from the truth. So we ask Allah for his guidance. The hadith is clear.
And is there one hadith reported from the Messenger, peace and blessings be upon him, regarding the establishment of the vision, or more?
Answer, everyone. Much more. Because the hadiths about seeing Allah, Mighty and Majestic, are mutawatir. Mutawatir conveys certain knowledge. And we recited in this place two verses about mutawatir, and they are? On condition. I am on condition that he heard it here. Good.
The student: ... .
The Shaykh : Do not prompt, my brother.
The student: ... .
The Shaykh : No, you still have some. No, do not look at him or anyone else, my brother. If you have something, let us not look for one. Yes.
The student: ... .
The Shaykh : Good. May Allah bless you:
Among what is mutawatir is the hadith: "What did not lie... and whoever builds for Allah a house and seeks reward"
"And the vision of intercession and the Pool... and wiping over the leather socks, and these are some"
Be careful, my brother. If the Sunnah is mutawatir from Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah, that Allah the Exalted is seen truly with the eye, as came in the authentic hadith also:Sahih al-Bukhari 7435 meaning with the eye, not with the heart. Good. What remains for us is the third evidence. What is it?
The consensus of the Companions: Where is the consensus of the Companions? I will give you a benefit that you will benefit from, if Allah wills. Everything that came in the Book and the Sunnah, and nothing else came from the Companions, is consensus. Be careful. We say the evidence for the consensus of the Companions is that no disagreement came from them in contradicting the apparent text. So this is consensus. This is a matter. So in this lesson now, we have benefited that from the creed of the people of the Sunnah and the community is what? Establishing that Allah is seen in the Hereafter. And upon this, it is obligatory for you, O brothers, not to look at the distortion in the texts, claiming that the distorter is purifying Allah, Mighty and Majestic, and that establishing His seeing means diminishing Allah. We ask Allah for safety. And by Allah, diminishing the texts is distorting them from their apparent meaning. Rather, we say: everything that indicates the denial of seeing Allah, Mighty and Majestic, must be erased from our minds, and we must believe with a faith by which we meet Allah that Allah the Exalted is seen in the Hereafter. And we have evidence from where? From the speech of Allah and the speech of His Messenger and the consensus of the Companions. And if we ask Allah the Exalted on the Day of Resurrection:[Al-Qasas 28:65] What do we say? We say: We answered your Messenger that we believed in what he brought regarding your seeing truly. This is one. Second, the brother, a little, so that what is in your head of sleep goes away.
On adorned couches, observing.
على الأرائك ينظرونNo! Indeed, from their Lord, that Day, they will be partitioned.
كلا إنهم عن ربهم يومئذ لمحجوبونOn adorned couches, observing.
على الأرائك ينظرونThe student: ... .
The Shaykh : Complete it. Rest. Who will complete it for us? May Allah bless you.

It is gathered in the speech of the Messenger, peace and blessings be upon him. It is gathered in his speech: the perfection of knowledge, the perfection of truthfulness, the perfection of sincerity, and the perfection of eloquence. Listen to what he says:
you shall see your Lord as you see the moon on the night of a full moon, you shall not crowd one another to see Him.
إنكم سترون ربكم كما ترون القمر ليلة البدر لا تضامون في رؤيتهYou will see your Lord
إنكم سترون ربكمyou shall see your Lord as you see the moon on the night of a full moon
إنكم سترون ربكم كما ترون القمر ليلة البدرyou will have no difficulty in seeing Him
لا تضامون في رؤيتهSo if you are able to keep from becoming overwhelmed from prayer before the rising of the sun and before its setting, then do so.
فإن استطعتم ألا تغلبوا على صلاة قبل طلوع الشمس وصلاة قبل غروبها فافعلواThe student: ... .
The Shaykh : Fajr and 'Asr. Fajr before the setting of the sun.
The student: ... .
The Shaykh : Before what?
The student: ... .
The Shaykh : Good. And 'Asr?
The student: ... .
The Shaykh : May Allah bless you. Good. It is as if the Messenger is encouraging us to these two prayers. As for the first, it is because people are sleeping, and no one rises from his pleasant sleep except one who is sincere to Allah, Mighty and Majestic.
And as for the second, it is for its honor, the prayer of 'Asr, for its honor.
Maintain with care the [obligatory] prayers and [in particular] the middle prayer
حافظوا على الصلوات والصلاة الوسطىAnd is there one hadith reported from the Messenger, peace and blessings be upon him, regarding the establishment of the vision, or more?
Answer, everyone. Much more. Because the hadiths about seeing Allah, Mighty and Majestic, are mutawatir. Mutawatir conveys certain knowledge. And we recited in this place two verses about mutawatir, and they are? On condition. I am on condition that he heard it here. Good.

Be careful, my brother. If the Sunnah is mutawatir from Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah, that Allah the Exalted is seen truly with the eye, as came in the authentic hadith also:
You will definitely see your Lord with your own eyes.
إنكم سترون ربكم عياناThe consensus of the Companions: Where is the consensus of the Companions? I will give you a benefit that you will benefit from, if Allah wills.
