Question:
Does the believer see Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) before the Day of Resurrection and before entering Paradise? And what is the evidence for that?
Answer:
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:, so no one sees the Lord in this world; rather, He is seen in the Hereafter, in the standing of the Day of Resurrection, and in Paradise. The believer sees Him in the standing and in Paradise, but in this world, he does not see Him. Even the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not see his Lord in this world. He may be seen in sleep; the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saw Him in sleep. Seeing in sleep is possible in a way that does not resemble His creation (Glorified and Exalted is He): one may hear speech, one may see light, but one does not see Him as He is, except on the Day of Resurrection or in Paradise.
And the disbelievers do not see Him: not on the Day of Resurrection, nor in the Hereafter as a whole. Allah the Exalted said: [Al-Mutaffifin: 15], so the disbelievers do not see Him ever.
And the believers see Him on the Day of Resurrection and in Paradise, as He wills (Glorified and Exalted is He), and that is the highest of their bliss, as He said (Glorified and Exalted is He):[Al-Qiyamah 75:22] LOOKING TOWARD THEIR LORD [Al-Qiyamah: 22-23], and He said, Exalted is He: [Al-Mutaffifin: 23], meaning: toward their Lord (Exalted and Majestic is He). And He said, Exalted is He: [Yunus: 26]. And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 34:581. And the reports have come in mass transmission from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) that he said: .
This is the belief of the people of the Sunnah and the community, in contrast to the innovators.

Answer:
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
And know that none of you will see his Lord until he dies
واعلموا أنَّ أحدكم لا يرى ربَّه حتى يموتAnd the disbelievers do not see Him: not on the Day of Resurrection, nor in the Hereafter as a whole. Allah the Exalted said:
No! Indeed, from their Lord, that Day, they will be partitioned.
كَلَّا إِنَّهُمْ عَنْ رَبِّهِمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ لَمَحْجُوبُونَAnd the believers see Him on the Day of Resurrection and in Paradise, as He wills (Glorified and Exalted is He), and that is the highest of their bliss, as He said (Glorified and Exalted is He):
[Some] faces, that Day, will be radiant,
وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ نَاضِرَةٌ On adorned couches, observing.
عَلَى الْأَرَائِكِ يَنْظُرُونَFor them who have done good is the best [reward] and extra
لِلَّذِينَ أَحْسَنُوا الْحُسْنَى وَزِيَادَةٌThe increase: looking at the Face of Allah
الزيادة: النظر إلى وجه اللهThe believers will see their Lord on the Day of Resurrection with their own eyes, as they see the sun on a clear day with no clouds between them and it, and as they see the moon on the night of the full moon; they will not be hindered in seeing Him
إن المؤمنين يرون ربَّهم يوم القيامة عيانًا بأبصارهم، كما يرون الشمسَ صَحْوًا ليس دونها سحابٌ، وكما يرون القمر ليلة البدر، لا يُضامون في رؤيتهThis is the belief of the people of the Sunnah and the community, in contrast to the innovators.
