From amongst these (agreed upon) beliefs, <strong>is</strong> (faith in) the believer's<br />

seeing their Lord on the Day of Resurrection. They all have agreed upon<br />

th<strong>is</strong> belief based upon the Mutawaathir (collective) reports from the<br />

Book and the Sunnah – and they did <strong>not</strong> d<strong>is</strong>agree upon th<strong>is</strong> matter.<br />

As for the difference concerning whether the Prophet saw h<strong>is</strong><br />

Lord on the night of the Me'raj with h<strong>is</strong> physical eyes, then the<br />

d<strong>is</strong>agreement <strong>is</strong> (just) about one specific worldly incident, while there<br />

<strong>is</strong> no d<strong>is</strong>agreement upon seeing Allah on the Day of Judgment. And the<br />

opinion of the majority of them <strong>is</strong> that the Prophet saw h<strong>is</strong> Lord with h<strong>is</strong><br />

heart/insight and <strong>not</strong> with h<strong>is</strong> eyes, because when the Prophet was<br />

asked about it, he said, "(there <strong>is</strong>) Light, how could I see Him." So, the<br />

Prophet denied seeing h<strong>is</strong> Lord with h<strong>is</strong> eyes in that situation due to<br />

the light which prevented him from seeing h<strong>is</strong> Lord.<br />

(But) They are unanimous that one can<strong>not</strong> see h<strong>is</strong> Lord in th<strong>is</strong><br />

world, as in the Hadeeth, "Know, none of you shall see h<strong>is</strong> Lord until he<br />

dies." [Saheeh Muslim] – except our Prophet . And the correct<br />

(opinion) <strong>is</strong> that he did <strong>not</strong> see H<strong>is</strong> Lord in th<strong>is</strong> manner (i.e., with h<strong>is</strong><br />

eyes).<br />

And guidance <strong>is</strong> from Allah. May Allah send peace and blessings<br />

upon our Prophet Muhammad, h<strong>is</strong> family and Sahabah.<br />
