Is seeing the Face of Allah in a dream possible, and could such a vision be from Shaytan (Satan)? What are the reasons for not seeing Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) in a dream despite praying for it, and what are the deeds that might bring a servant closer to seeing him?

Seeing Allah Almighty in a dream is permissible according to Islamic law, whereas seeing Him while awake in this world is forbidden. As for seeing the Prophet, peace be upon him, there is no specific supplication or act of worship prescribed to bring it about. However, Islamic law permits a servant to supplicate to his Lord for all his needs. Therefore, one should continue to supplicate without boredom or haste, and frequently read books of the Prophet's biography, striving to follow the Prophet, peace be upon him, in life.
