6a]
[al-Baqarah 2:260].
Allah spoke to Moosa (peace be upon him) frombehind a screen, and that does not mean that he did not believe. To sum up, there is no contradiction between faith and seeing Him. This is borne out by the fact that Moosa (peace be upon him) asked his Lord to let him see Him so as to increase him in faith: “…he said: ‘O my Lord! Show me (Yourself), that Imay look upon You’” [al-A‘raaf 7:143]. Yes, afterseeing Allah, faith will no longer be regarded as belief in the unseen, so it is possible that the bearers of the Throne andthose who are around it may have seen Allah and thus attained the highest level of certainty. By the same token, when the believers see their Lord onthe Day of Resurrection, they will move from certainty based on knowledge to certainty based on seeing, for whenthey see Allah they will believe in Him with the faith of having seen and they will find the deepest joy in that; they will be blessed with seeing Him and hearing His words. Allah says (interpretation of the meaning):
“Some faces that Day shallbe Nâdirah (shining and radiant).
Looking at their Lord (Allâh)”
[al-Qiyaamah :22-23].
We ask Allah for the joy oflooking upon His noble Countenance. And Allah knows best.
End quote from Fataawa al-Islam al-Yawm.
To sum up: This is a matter of the unseen and it is not permissible to affirm it or deny it except on the basis of evidence. The correct approach is to refrain from asking about it.
And Allah knows best./ - - - :-> Transtors: 1.http://free-translation.imtranslator.net/lowres.asp 2.http://translate.google.com/m?twu=1&hl=en&vi=m&sl=auto&tl=en
