What is the truth regarding the believers and the angels seeing their Lord?

Question:
Do the angels see Allah ?

Answer:
I do not know; nothing has been reported on this matter regarding Allah, nor regarding the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), nor regarding Allah and the angels. It was mentioned in an authentic hadith: that His veil is light; if He were to remove it, the radiance of His Face would consume whatever His sight reaches of His creation.
And I do not know of any text that indicates that the angels see Allah . This requires evidence from the Infallible one, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him).
As for the believing men and women, they will see Allah on the Day of Resurrection and in Paradise. The believing men and women will see Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) on the Day of Resurrection and in Paradise, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) informed us, and the hadiths regarding this have been mass-transmitted from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). And Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) said: LOOKING TOWARD THEIR LORD [Al-Qiyamah: 22-23]. The meaning of the verse is: Faces on that Day will be radiant with radiance, which is beauty and loveliness; meaning: Faces on that Day will be beautiful, possessing radiance and loveliness, : looking at Him, and these are the faces of the believing men and women.
Allah the Exalted said: ON THE THRONES, LOOKING [Al-Mutaffifin: 22-23], meaning: looking at the Face of their Lord in the abode of honor. He (Glorified and Exalted is He) said: [Yunus: 26]. It was reported from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he said: .
So the believing doers of good will see Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) in Paradise on the Day of Resurrection, just as they see Him in the open spaces of the Resurrection, as a favor and kindness from Him (Exalted and Majestic is He). Allah the Exalted said regarding the people of Paradise: [Qaf: 35]. The scholars said: "It is the looking at the Face of Allah."
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said in the authentic hadiths: , thus the believers will see Him on the Day of Resurrection and in Paradise, and so will the believing women; for Allah has promised all of them the abiding pleasure in Paradise and the vision of His Face .
The people of innovation, specifically the Jahmiyyah and the Mu'tazilah, denied this, and their statement is invalid. Whoever denies the vision on the Day of Resurrection is misguided and misguiding, contrary to the people of the Sunnah and the community, and following the people of innovation. So Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) has made it clear that the people of faith will see their Lord on the Day of Resurrection and in Paradise. And so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) informed in the mass-transmitted, authentic, and established hadiths: that the believers will see their Lord on the Day of Resurrection in Paradise and in the open spaces of the Resurrection, and the promise of this is general for all believing men and women.
As for in this world: no one sees Him in this world. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: . And Musa asked his Lord to see Him, so his Lord said to him: You will not see Me: [Al-A'raf: 143]. So the Lord is not seen with the eyes in this world, but only in the Hereafter.
As for seeing Him with the heart—keeping Him present in the heart—the person believes in Him, keeps His greatness present, and acknowledges that He is perfect in His essence, His names, His attributes, and His actions. This is the truth. The believers believe in Him and hold that He is perfect in His essence, His names, His attributes, and His actions, and that He is the One worthy of worship (Exalted and Majestic is He).
And He may be seen in sleep as well, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saw Him in sleep.
As for seeing Him with the eye while awake, He is not seen except on the Day of Resurrection and in Paradise. The believing men and women alone will see Him, whereas the disbelievers will not see Him. Allah the Exalted said: .
