The believer's will be able to see Him before entering Paradise, on the Day of Standing, just like one is able to see the full moon clearly on a dark night. Some Hadeeth mention the Believers seeing Allaah on the plains of Resurrection and some others mention seeing Him in Paradise. We believe in these Verses and Hadeeth as they have come to us without asking 'how' and we do not try to figuratively explain them.
So this is mentioned in the Qur'an, in the authentic Hadeeth of the Messenger; this issue is something that the Companions, the Tabi'een and the Salaf of this nation have agreed upon. It is something that is agreed upon between the Imams of Islam. The Believer's will indeed see their Lord clearly on the Day of Standing, and He, the Most High, will appear before His slaves whilst He is Laughing, as the Messenger said in the hadith narrated by Jabir in Sahih al Muslim:
«إِنَّ اللهَ يَتَجَلَّى لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ يَضْحَك»
"Verily, Allah will appear before the believers while He is laughing."What can give a believer more hope than this? The Lord he has believed in and worshiped his entire life without ever seeing Him, appears before him whilst He, the Most High, is laughing! Subhanallaah.
The most clear and decisive proof for this is:
{
Faces, that Day, will be radiant, Looking at their Lord.} [
al-Qiyamah; 22-23]
And the disbeliever's will not be allowed to see their Lord, and the proof is:
{
Nay! Surely, they will be veiled from seeing their Lord that Day.} [
al-Mutafifeen; 15]
You can read Ibn Kathir's Tafseer of the first verse
here, where he mentions the proof for what has been stated above and adds in some of the authentic ahadeeth pertaining to this.
