رؤية الله تعالى

Abstract EN

The visibility of Allah the Almighty on the Day of Resurrection is one of the dogmatic issues around which disputes broke out among doctrinal schools, especially between the Sunnites and the Mutazila.

The Sunnis advocate the permissibility for the believers to see Allah the Almighty on the Judgment day depending on evidence from the holy Quran and the Sunna of the Prophe The prophetic Sunnah and the consensus of the nation, as the sunni people adhered to the face meaning of the texts because of the non-impossibility of these phenomena and the absence of valid controlled evidence of the interpretation.

However the Mutazila argue for the unlawfulness of this eyesight based on their intellectual perspective in the interpretation of the Quranic verses and calling into question the validity of Hadeeth sources that prove this dogmatic issue.

This paper concluols that the Sunnites have exposed the rightfulness of this issue and responded to the construction and contest of the Mutazila.

The reason behind the Mutazila's negation to the vision is that they believed that vision necessitates side, comparison, bias and connection of the ray between the viewer and the viewed, and Allah should be elevated over those meanings.

The Mutazilah considered that these conditions are mental and they do not differ between the present and the absent, while the Sunni people explained that those conditions are normal and can be deferred, so we can see Allah without placing those conditions.
