On the Certainty of Seeing Almighty Allah Face-to-Face in the Hereafter
Sajjad Anwar Via Email
Question: During a sermon, a local religious scholar stated that the inhabitants of Paradise will be able to see Allah directly. My question to you is: Is it truly possible to see Allah?
Answer: According to the creed of Ahl as-Sunnah wa’l-Jamā’ah, it is indeed possible to see Allah in the Hereafter. Believers in Paradise will behold Allah, the Lord of the Worlds, without any physical modality or comparison. In the Holy Quran, Allah Almighty states in Surah Al-Qiyamah: ‘Some faces, that Day, will be radiant, looking at their Lord.’ (Al-Quran). Therefore, beholding the Almighty Lord in the Hereafter is unequivocally possible.
