Will a servant dwelling in the lowest rank of Paradise be able to see the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), or will he be deprived of this honor?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Verse 69 of Surat An-Nisa, "And whoever obeys Allah and the Messenger – those will be with the ones upon whom Allah has bestowed favor of the prophets, the steadfast affirmers of truth, the martyrs and the righteous. And excellent are those as companions," was revealed after a Companion expressed his fear of not seeing the Prophet, peace be upon him, in Paradise due to the loftiness of his status. And "companionship" means that the believers will be with the prophets in the same abode and be able to see them, or they will ascend to the ranks of the prophets, or the prophets will descend to them. So, whoever obeys Allah and His Messenger will be a companion and neighbor to them and will be able to see the Prophet, peace be upon him, and will not be deprived of that bounty, because "the people of Paradise will see each other in their chambers as you see the eastern star or the western star setting in the horizon and rising, in varying degrees of rank."
