What is the validity of the claim that it is possible to see Allah (Mighty and Majestic) in a dream?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The Shaykh means, regarding seeing Allah (Mighty and Majestic) in a dream, is it correct to say that it can happen to any believer among the believers, meaning
The Shaykh : Seeing Allah the Exalted in a dream in this world, of course, there is no sleep in the Hereafter. This is mentioned in the hadith of the dispute of the highest assembly, which was narrated by the people of the Sunan, that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saw his Lord in a dream.
And seeing Allah for anyone other than the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), I do not know that it is established, and I do not know whether it happens or not. However, it has been mentioned that Imam Ahmad (may Allah have mercy on him) saw his Lord in a dream, and Shaykh al-Islam (may Allah have mercy on him) mentioned that a person may see his Lord in a dream, and that is by Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) giving him a parable according to his adherence to the religion.
Meaning, he sees him in a good vision, and that serves as assistance for him to adhere to the religion and to continue on what he is upon. And Allah knows best. I refrain from saying that a person sees his Lord in a dream in a true sense. But if Allah the Exalted gives him a parable showing him his adherence to his religion, then that is not strange. Yes.
