Clarification of the possibility of seeing Allah the Exalted in this world.

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Is it possible to see Allah in this world?
Answer: In a waking state, no. This is because when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) spoke about the Dajjal, he said:
And know that you will not see your Lord until you die. واعلموا أنكم لن تروا ربكم حتى تموتوا
As-Sunan al-Kubra lil-Nasa'i 56:104
. Therefore, it is impossible to see Allah the Exalted in this world while awake. However, one may see Him in a dream, for the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saw his Lord in a dream. Does this occur for anyone other than the Prophet? This is a matter of consideration. It has been mentioned regarding Imam Ahmad and others among the righteous that he sees Allah in a dream, or that he saw Allah in a dream. However, there is some hesitation regarding this. Not everything that is established for the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) is established for his Ummah, for the signs of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) may be established for some of the Ummah, becoming miracles (karamat) for them. Therefore, the important thing is that it suffices us to believe that Allah is truly seen in the Hereafter. As for in this world while awake, He is not seen, for Allah said to Musa:
you will not see Me لن تراني
. As for in a dream, that occurred for the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). As for others, it is a matter of consideration, and Allah knows best.
So, from the creed of the people of the Sunnah and the community is the affirmation of seeing Allah (Blessed and Exalted is He) in the Hereafter. O Allah, we ask You for the pleasure of looking at Your noble Face, and that You not deprive us of it due to the badness of our actions, for You are capable of all things.
Yes, I forgot the hadith. But we have time. Where is our companion for the rotation? Please. Come here. Come here, or take it, it will get long? Is this not justice? It is as if you are not qualified. You are not qualified, go read.
The reader: In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
Praise be to Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings and bestow grace upon our master Muhammad, and upon his family and all his Companions.
The author (may Allah have mercy on him) said in his book, let us name it every day, the author?

The Shaykh : Yes, because some people may not have attended except today.
