Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The Shaykh said in the hadith that the believers and the hypocrites will see Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) on the Day of Resurrection in the form they know. What is meant by "the form they know"?
The Shaykh : The form they know is that by which He (Mighty and Majestic) described Himself. Indeed, Allah the Exalted has described Himself to His servants as being Magnificent, All-Powerful, Possessor of Authority, having a Face, having an Eye, and so on. They know this not through prior vision, but through what Allah described Himself with. Yes.
