Those taken out of Hell seeing Allah


356

Q 2: Will the last people who will come out of Hellfire and enter Jannah (Paradise) see Allah according to Allah's Statement, For those who have done good is the best (reward, i.e. Paradise) and even more (i.e. having the honour of glancing at the Countenance of Allâh جل جلاله). ?


A: Anyone who enters Jannah will see Allah (Glorified and Exalted be He), as seeing Allah is the greatest bliss of the people of Jannah. However, the Mu'minun (believers) vary in seeing Allah; some of them enjoy the privilege of seeing Allah all the time according to Allah's Statement, For those who have done good is the best (reward, i.e. Paradise) and even more (i.e. having the honour of glancing at the Countenance of Allâh جل جلاله). It was authentically established from the Prophet (peace be upon him) that he interpreted this Ayah to mean that the reward is Jannah and the phrase "even more" refers to looking at Allah's Face (Glorified and Exalted be He). The Prophet (peace be upon him) also stated, When the people of Jannah enter therein, a caller announces, "O, people of Jannah! You were promised by Allah and that promise is going to be fulfilled." They wonder, "O, Allah! What is that promise? Have You not enlightened our faces? Have You not let us into Jannah? Have You not saved us from (Part No. 2; Page No. 402) Hellfire?" He uncovers the veil so that they look at His Face; there is nothing more beloved to them than looking at Allah's Face (Glorified and Exalted be He). May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
