Shall we see the Face of Allah only on the Day of Resurrection, or shall we see His other attributes such as His two Hands and two Feet, and His establishment upon His Throne, as the Prophet (peace be upon him) promised?
The vision of Allah Almighty is affirmed by the Qur’an and without being restricted to a specific aspect. Among its texts are the Almighty’s saying: "Some faces that Day will be radiant, looking at their Lord." ( Al-Qiyamah, 75:22-23), and the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Indeed, you will see your Lord with your own eyes."
The implications of these texts should remain unrestricted, as befits Allah’s majesty, without specifying a "how." It should be noted that encompassing and comprehending Allah are negated, as He, may He be glorified and exalted, said: "No vision can grasp Him" (Surah Al-An'am, 6:103), and He said: "but they do not encompass Him in knowledge." (Surah Ta-Ha, 20:110).
Therefore, the negation of comprehension does not necessitate the negation of vision; rather, it is an affirmation of Allah’s greatness and the perfection of His attributes. This is the truth upon which the predecessors of the Ummah and its imams have agreed.
