Allah Vision

Muslims proved the allegation of Allah`s vision  on the Judgement Day by only a part of a Verse:

" Some faces, that Day, will beam (in brightness and beauty);Looking towards their Lord; And some faces, that Day, will be sad and dismal, In the thought that some back breaking calamity was about to be inflicted on them;"Al Quiyama the 22-25

The word “Looking towards” in the Verse is the translation of the Arab word  "äÇÙÑÉ" This word is pronounced “nazera” and has several meanings:

  1. A propagated meaning signifying the vision
  2. A meaning frequently used in the Koran signifying the waiting. Following the word “nazera” in the Koran for better understanding the desired meaning: (the translation of the word is underlined in the verses)

/   "But I am going to send him a present, and (wait) to see with what (answer) return (my) ambassadors.".AlNaml35

 

/   "If the debtor is in a difficulty, grant him them till it is easy for him to repay. But if ye remit it by way of charity, that is best for you if ye only knew." AlaBaqara 280

/   "Satan said: "Give me respite till the day they are raced up". (ALLAH) said: Be thou among those who have respite." Al Araaf 14-15

 

/   "Thus have We caused it to enter the hearts of the Sinners. They will not believe in it until they see the grievous Penalty; But the (Penalty) will come to them of a sudden, while they preceive it not; Then they will say: Shall we be respited?" Alshu`aara 200-203

 

From the preceding, it is clear that the word”nazera” is frequently used in the Koran meaning the waiting, the delay,  the respite.

There could never be any contradiction in  the Koran where the vision of Allah was absolutely denied, it is necessary to correct the meaning of “nazera” in the translation of the Verse:

" Some faces, that Day, will beam (in brightness and beauty);Looking towards (waiting)  the forgiveness of their Lord; And some faces, that Day, will be sad and dismal, In the thought that some back breaking calamity was about to be inflicted on them;"Al Quiyama the 21-25

The same meaning is clear from the opposition between the two situations in the Verse: brightness and beauty Faces (opposite of) sad and dismal faces

Which wait the mercy of their Lord (opposite of) , In the thought that some back breaking calamity was about to be inflicted on them.

Who asks Allah vision?

@ The Lord warned the Moslems against asking the vision  of Allah like the people of Moïse:

"Would ye question your Messenger as Moses was questioned of old? but whoever changeth from faith to unbelief, hath strayed without doubt from the even way. "AlBaqara 108

Moïse: people asked him to show them Allah in light (see v. AlBaqara 55).

The Verse ends in a severe warning : the request of the vision of Allah is a change from faith to unbelief and  hath strayed without doubt from the even way.

@ Those which do not hope to meet Allah for Judgment, request to see him [Allah]:

" « Such as fear not the meeting with Us (for Judgment) say: Why are not the angels sent down to us, or (why) do we not see Our Lord? Indeed they have an arrogant conceit of themselves, and mighty is the insolence of their impiety!" Alfurquan 21

The Lord answered that the vision of the angels and not of Allah will take place the day of judgment:

“The Day they see the angels, no joy will there be to the sinners that Day: the (angels) will say: There is a barrier forbidden (to you) altogether!” Alfurquan 22

 

In spite of the Clear deny of  the Vision of Allah in the Koran,  the Islam`s scientists do not stop asking it, following false tales attributed to the sincere Prophet Mohamed, prayers and greetings on him, but the Koran is worthier of beeing followed.
