The Shaykh : The first group to enter Paradise, for they will be gathered to Paradise in groups.
But those who feared their Lord will be driven to Paradise in groups وسيق الذين اتقوا ربهم إلى الجنة زمرا
[Az-Zumar 39:73]
The first group to enter Paradise will be in the image of the moon on the night of the full moon. When? On the night of the fourteenth. This is the most perfect the moon can be in its fullness. This does not mean they must be identical to it, but they are in its image in terms of joy, radiance, and illumination, and the like. It is not necessary that they be identical to it. On this understanding, the difficulty that arose for many people regarding the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):
for Allah created Adam in His own image إن الله خلق آدم على صورته
Sahih Muslim 2612e
is resolved, where they assumed that if he is in His image, he is identical to Him. We say: he is in His image, and it is not necessary that he be identical to Him, as in this hadith. Yes.
