Will People In Heaven Be Able To See God
“ No doubt, believers would be able to see the Almighty on the Day of Judgement. This is evident from the verse: كَلَّا إِنَّهُمْ عَنْ رَبِّهِمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ لَمَحْجُوبُونَ (٨٣: ١٥) (Certainly not! On that Day, they shall certainly be held away from their Lord, (83:15 )). [2] However, there are various levels of seeing the Almighty, and this seeing the Almighty is not tantamount to fully comprehending him. Probably, the nature of this seeing would be that all barriers and impediments shall be withdrawn and people would be able to see the Almighty the way they see the sun, the moon and the stars and in reality this seeing is nothing but observing light reflected from these heavenly bodies. This is the example the Prophet (sws) gave people when they inquired from him about the nature of this observation [3] and said: “ You will see Your God in a manner that there will be no obstruction between Him and you except His cloak of greatness ”. [4]” (Excerpt from Meezan: Javed Ahmed Ghamidi) (Translated by Dr. Shehzad Saleem) For Details, please see : Discussion 18914 _______________________ [2] . The Quran has stated this regarding the rejecters of the truth. It is evident that the believers will not be deprived of this observation and all obstacles and hindrances to see the Almighty will be withdrawn there. [3] . Bukhari, No: 7437; Muslim, No: 182. [4] .
