The only one who has been blessed with the ability to see Allah with his eyes in the worldly life is our honourable prophet Muhammad . However, many ambiya aleihimosalam and awliya aleihimurahma have been blessed with the sight of Allah the almighty through the heart and through dream. And during the judgement day, every sunni muslim will be able to see Allah with his eyes.However we should remember that the vision of Allah is without any “kefiyya”. What is meant with keifiyya is that we will be able to see Allah the almighty however at the moment we cant describe how we will see him, we will able to descibe it once we are blessed with the blessed sight of Allah. To discuss about the vision of Allah the almighty is not allowed. We need to believe that we indeed will be able to see Allah the almighty during the day of judgement which will be the biggest favour of Allah upon his creation.

&nbsp; [شرح الملا علی القاری علی الفقہ الاکبر ، جواز رؤیۃ الباری جل شانہ فی الدنیا ، ص۱۲۳۔۱۲۴/المعتقد المنتقدمع المستند المعتمد،منہ (۱۶)انہ تعالٰی مرئی بالا بصار فی الآخرۃ، ص۵۶،۵۸،شرح العقائد النسفیۃ،مبحث رؤیۃ اللہ تعالی والدلیل علیھا، ص۷۴۔۷۵]

It is an act of disbelief to believe that an act of Allah the almighty is evil, or to become angry upon an act of Allah the almighty, or to become sad upon Allah the almighty because of an act that he has carried out.

Behold! Never criticize any act of Allah the almighty, neither become sad but believe that whatever Allah does is always good even if we can understand it or not. Because Allah is the most knowledgable and the most wise, and he is very merciful upon his creation.

A collection of beliefs regarding the essence of Allah and his divine attributes. Eloquently extrapolated from the Quran, Sunnah and the Ulama of ilm-ul-qalam.
