Will the believers see the Shin of Allah Almighty or His Essence in the Hereafter, and how can one reconcile seeing Him in Paradise as a surprise and the best of delights, with having seen Him previously on the Day of Resurrection?
Ahl al- wa al-Jama‘ah believe that seeing Allah Almighty in Paradise is the greatest bliss for its inhabitants, basing their argument on His saying: (Some faces on that Day will be radiant, looking at their Lord) and on the of Suhaib, which mentions the removal of the veil and seeing the Noble Face of Allah as the most beloved thing to the people of Paradise. Furthermore, His (Glory be to Him) vision has been affirmed in the arena of reckoning, and there is no contradiction between seeing Him in Paradise and seeing Him in the arena of reckoning, because the vision in Paradise is more complete and specific to the believers, while in the arena of reckoning, it is a general vision befitting the station of the موقف (standing). A Muslim must believe in these unseen reports without delving into their modality.
