What is the explanation of the hadith that mentions that Allah will come to the believers on the Day of Resurrection in a form other than the one they know, and then in the form they know?
The meaning of the is that Allah the Almighty will come to the believers on the Day of Resurrection in a form other than the one in which they saw Him, as a trial. He will say, "I am your Lord," but they will refuse and say, "We seek refuge in Allah from you. This is our place until our Lord comes to us, and when He comes, we will recognize Him." Then Allah will come to them in the form they recognize, and they will affirm Him. It is obligatory to believe in the Ahadith of the Attributes as they have come, without attempting to define their 'how' (takyif), while declaring Allah free from resemblance to creation. The people of knowledge, such as Sufyan al-Thawri, Malik, and Ibn al-Mubarak, said, "Pass them on without asking 'how'," and asking about the 'how' is an innovation.
