A Refutation of Those Who Interpret the Saying of Allah the Exalted: {To her Lord she looks} as Meaning: To the Reward of Her Lord She Looks

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : So I say, meaning, those who say
(22) [Some] faces, that Day, will be radiant, (23) Looking at their Lord. وجوه يومئذ ناضرة إلى ربها ناظرة
[Al-Qiyamah 75:22-23]
meaning "to the reward of her Lord," we ask: Why did He not say "to the reward of her Lord"? What prevents Him from doing so? Is this anything but deception? If Allah Mighty and Majestic had intended "to the reward of her Lord she looks" and said:
toward her Lord إلى ربها
what would be the result? It would be the greatest deception of the creation, and Allah says:
Allah makes clear to you [His law], lest you go astray يبين الله لكم أن تضِلوا
[An-Nisa 4:176]
And it would also be an indication of disbelief, because those who deny the seeing of Allah say that whoever says Allah is seen is a disbeliever, because he has affirmed that Allah is a body, and the assertion that Allah has a body is disbelief. Do you understand or not? Is it possible that Allah the Exalted would use an expression that suggests looking at Him Mighty and Majestic, while He intends looking at the reward? It is not possible.
