This is sufficient, for He, Glorified and Exalted is He, *** described the faces as looking with a gaze of joy (Mentioning the fourth evidence from the Qur'an for the believers seeing their Lord on the Day of Resurrection, and the meaning of His saying, the Exalted: {On that Day, faces will be radiant, looking toward their Lord})

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Now, this is also among the evidences that Allah, Mighty and Majestic, said:
(22) [Some] faces, that Day, will be radiant, (23) Looking at their Lord. وجوه يومئذ ناضرة إلى ربها ناظرة
[Al-Qiyamah 75:22-23]
The first one is written with what?
The student: With the letter Dhad.
The student: With the letter Dhad.

The Shaykh : It is written with what?
The student: With the letter Dhad.

The Shaykh : With the letter Sad or with the letter Ta?
The student: With the letter Sad.

The Shaykh :
[Some] faces, that Day, will be radiant, وجوه يومئذ ناضرةٌ
[Al-Qiyamah 75:22]

The student: With the letter Sad.

The Shaykh : Now,
And they will be greeted with radiance and joy ولقاهم نضرةً وسرورا

The student: With the letter Sad.

The Shaykh : With the letter Sad here or with the letter Ta?
The student: With the letter Sad.

The Shaykh : Now, is gold called *nidadar* with the letter Sad or with the letter Ta?
The student: With the letter Sad.

The Shaykh : With the letter Sad, yes. So,
Radiant ناضرة
with the letter Sad means beautiful, as He, the Exalted, said:
And they will be greeted with radiance and joy ولقاهم نضرة وسرورا
meaning beauty in their faces and joy in their hearts.
Radiant ناضرة
means beautiful.
gazing at their Lord. إلى ربها ناظرة
Their Lord ربها
What does the pronoun refer to? It refers to the faces. So, these faces look toward their Lord.
gazing at their Lord. إلى ربها ناظرة
means seeing, meaning seeing, that is, a visual gaze. The author cited evidence for this. First: the beauty of the faces of the one who is expecting. Does the face of the one expecting something he loves become beautiful? It may become beautiful, and it may not. Yes, it may become beautiful, and it may not. Correct?
The student: Yes.

The Shaykh : Be decisive, everyone.
The student: Correct

The Shaykh : A person promised us something and kept waiting. Sometimes he is hopeful, and his face brightens. Sometimes he loses hope and despairs, and his face becomes ugly and dark. He says, "I am afraid he will not give it to me." At first, he said, "I will give you a million riyals," and his face brightened. Yes, while he was waiting, it was delayed. He said, "It seems our friend is..." What will his face be like? It will be gloomy, and he will despair. But this is *nadirah* (radiant) in the state of its looking toward its Lord. How can it be expecting? Then, if it were said, "looking toward the reward of its Lord," we would say that this contradicts the apparent meaning. What prevents our Lord, Mighty and Majestic, from saying, "looking toward the reward of its Lord"? Looking toward the reward of its Lord, yes.
