Is it possible to see Allah the Exalted in a dream?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The statement of the Shaykh of Islam—May Allah reward you—I do not think that any person of sound mind would deny seeing Allah the Exalted in a dream. What does this phrase mean?
Answer:
There is nothing wrong with it; seeing Allah in a dream is possible, as mentioned in the fatwas, may Allah have mercy on him, and as in the hadithSunan ad-Darimi 10:14. However, this does not imply likening Him to something. One may hear a voice, or one may see light, but it does not necessitate likening Him to this or that. What is forbidden is seeing the reality. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, as narrated by Muslim in the Sahih: Sahih Muslim 2930a, 2931, 169d, meaning with the eyes of his head while awake.

I saw my Lord in the best form
رأيت ربي في أحسن صورةBear this thing in mind that none amongst you would be able to see Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, until he dies.
واعلموا أنه لن يرى أحد منكم ربه حتى يموت
