Question:
On the night of the Isra and Mi'raj, did the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) see his Lord, Blessed and Exalted is He? That is, did he see Him? And is there a word on this matter? May we be rewarded.
Answer:
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not see his Lord. When he was asked, he said: And he said: And he said, (may Allah's prayers and peace be upon him): So Allah is not seen in this world. The Exalted said: [Al-An'am: 103], meaning: in this world. And they do not encompass Him in the Hereafter. The believers will see Him in the Hereafter in Paradise, and on the Day of Resurrection, but they will not encompass Him.
As for this world, He is not seen. Neither the prophets nor anyone else sees Him in this world. This world is the abode of action, the abode of striving, the abode of trial and testing. It is not the abode of bliss, and seeing Him is part of bliss. So He is not seen except by the believers on the Day of Resurrection in the plains of the Resurrection, and they will also see Him in Paradise as He wills, (Exalted and Majestic is He). They will see Him as they see the moon on the night of the full moon, meaning: a true vision, as they see the moon on the night of the full moon, and as they see the sun on a clear day, with no clouds between them. Meaning: that Allah, (Exalted and Majestic is He), will reveal His noble Face to them, and they will see Him on the Day of Resurrection, and in Paradise, with a true vision. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good, O Your Eminence.

Answer:
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not see his Lord. When he was asked, he said:
I saw a light
رأيت نورًاA light, how could I see Him?
نورٌ أنى أراهAnd know that none of you will see his Lord until he dies.
واعلموا أنه لن يرى منكم أحدٌ ربه حتى يموتVision perceives Him not
