[1752] People cannot see God Almighty (سبحانه وتعالى) in this worldly life, not even a noble Messenger of Moses’ (عليه السلام) status to whom He talked directly without a mediator (cf. al-Ṭabarī, al-Qurṭubī). Humans are simply not built in such a way as to bear it (cf. al-Saʿdī, al-, al-Shinqīṭī, al-ʿAdhb al-Namīr). Abū Mūsā al-Ashʿarī (رضي الله عنه) narrated: “The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) stood among us to deliver five ˹weighty˺ words. He said: “Allah, Glory be His, does not sleep and it is not befitting of Him to sleep; He lowers ˹with the scale of˺ justice ˹whoever does wrong˺ and raises ˹with˺ it ˹whoever does good˺; to Him the deeds of the day are raised before the deeds of the night and the deeds of the night are raised before the deeds of the day; His Veil is the Light; if He were to lift it, the Magnificent Splendours of His Face would burn whomever of His creation, His Sight reaches” (Muslim: 179).
[1753] God Almighty practically showed Moses how unable he was of seeing Him (cf. Abū Ḥayyān, al-Saʿdī); the mountain, which was by far a mightier creation than man, was crushed to dust when God revealed Himself to it (cf. al-Wāḥidī, al-Basīṭ, al-Shinqīṭī, al-ʿAdhb al-Namīr).
[1754] Sincere Belief (Īmān) requires no tangible evidence (cf. al-Biqāʿī).
