Will some of the people of Paradise be deprived of seeing the Face of Allah, or will everyone who enters Paradise be granted this vision?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The highest bliss for the people of Paradise is gazing upon the Face of Allah Almighty. Many texts indicate that all the people of Paradise will see their Lord, and no one is excluded from this great favor.

Among what Muslim narrated in his Sahih from Suhayb, that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "When the people of Paradise enter Paradise and the people of Hellfire enter Hellfire, a caller will cry out: 'O people of Paradise, you have an appointment with Allah that He wishes to fulfill for you.' They will say: 'What is it? Did He not make our scales heavy, whiten our faces, admit us into Paradise, and save us from the Fire?' Then the veil will be lifted, and they will gaze upon Allah. Nothing that they are given is more beloved to them than gazing upon Him, and that is the 'increase' (az-ziyadah)."

The phrase "people of Paradise" in the hadith includes both men and women. The address is directed to all the people of Paradise who have entered it and been promised reward, which indicates that everyone who is among the people of Paradise is promised to gaze upon Allah, the Exalted, and no one is excluded from this unless there is a specific textual proof.
