What is the meaning of "what his gaze reached of His creation" in the noble Hadith: "If He were to remove it, the glories of His Face would burn up what his gaze reached of His creation"?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The hadith: "His veil is light, were He to remove it, the effulgence of His Face would surely burn every part of His creation that His sight reaches," means that Allah Almighty encompasses everything with His knowledge, and His sight has no end in His creation. So, if He were to remove theil that conceals His Noble Face, the lights of His Majesty would burn everything His sight reaches among His creation, because creatures in this world are unable to bear that. However, in the Hereafter, Allah will prepare the believers to see Him, Glorified be He.
