Did Muhammad (pbuh) see Allah?

[Mujahidah4Allah]

ermm chacha makes a good point there did he[saw] not see Allah [swt] then?

ma'salamah

 

[Hussein radi]

i think this is something personal to prophet muhammed(SAW), and we should not be all crazy about it.

Asalamu alaykum.

The Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) did not see Allah, there are many hadith and ayah posted on this thread which show that a)Allah cannot be seen in this life and b)The Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), by his own testimony, did not see Allah.

This is an issue of tawhid and there is a misconception held by Muslims about this due to looseness of wording (i.e. The Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) was in the presence of Allah and close to Allah, but in a way we do not understand, and in a way in which he did not see Allah - this is often rephrased by Muslims in incorrect ways.)

Bilal Phillips has a book called The Fundementals of Tawhid, this covers the topic as well as many other issues where we may hold incorrect beliefs. It's an excellent book masha'Alah and has been revised and corrected many times. I urge everyone to read it or a similar book on Tawhid.

Asalamu alaykum.

You are totally wrong. Nowhere in Al Quran says that Muhammad (pbuh) saw Allah. In those verses (81:15-29) Allah says that Muhammad (pbuh) saw angel Gibril (pbuh) in his original form. Before asking any question we must read Al Quran properly and must ask scholars. If you do not recite properly you will always get a problem.So, recite Al Quran properly. Otherwise you will contradict with yourself only. Thanks.

Salaam,

Did Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) see Allah? I though Allah cannot been seen, according to the Quran. Yet in other passages it says that Muhammad (pbuh) did see Allah (ex. Surah no. 81:15-29). There seems to be a contradiction.
Can anyone please explain this to be. Help will be greatly appreciated! Reps to anyone who answers.

Thanks.

O people! Why are you in a state of delusion! Open your eyes! The Prophet Muhammad saw Allaah, and there was a distance of 2 bows, then even less, then even less.....

Allaah loves Muhammad more than ANY ONE OF US can ever imagine, and on that night there was no veil between them, Allaah removed all veils between Him and RasoolAllaah

According to an authentic tradition, the Prophet Muhammad was left along by Jibra'eel, by the Lote Tree. He then proceeded towards Allaah alone. Then a spiritual cloud (called raff-raff) encircled him and that took him towards Allaah. Then even the cloud left him and then Allaah called out, "Wait! You have come so far to meet me, I will cover this small distance towards you." Then Allaah lifted His Veil, and RasoolAllaah saw Allaah WITHOUT A VEIL and fell into prostration himself before Allaah.
[Suyuti, Jalal-ad-Din, al-Khasais al-Kubra, Vol 1, p.305]



Whoever wants to believe can believe, and whoever doesn't want to believe is up to them.

Ya Ummah! Knowledge is not only found on the internet! Go to your Shaykhs, learn from them!

May Allaah save our Ummah, who is seriously getting misguided. Ameen.

^ My sister Hafizah are you sure of that, because scholars say no one saw Allah in dunya, even prophets. Concerning the hadeeth you mentioned, please forgive me my sister, I am not a scholar of hadeeth to make sure if it's authentic or not, but as an ordinary muslim, I resort to Saheeh Bukhari, or Sahih Muslim to seek authentic hadeeths. If a hadeeth is not in the 2 books, I should refer to a reliable scholar of hadeeth (like Albani, etc) to know how authentic it is. So It would be beneficial if someone could refer to the opinion of scholars about the hadith if possible.

Take a look at this too :

“Then He approached and descended”Qur’aan, Chapter 53, Verse 8

Narrated Anas bin Malik regarding this verse

“But Gabriel ascended with him (the Prophet) for a distance above that, the distance of which only Allah knows, till he reached the Lote Tree (beyond which none may pass) and then the Irresistible, the Lord of Honour and Majesty approached and came closer till he was about two bow lengths or (even) nearer.”
[Sahih Bukhari, Book 93, Hadith 608]


How can you deny the words of a Sahaabi.... Astagfirullaah... Ya Allaah please guide the Ummah of Muhammad , Ameen

 

[marwen]

No one denies the words of sahaba inshaAllah. But in authentic sources nothings says explicitely that the Prophet saw Allah, and most of the sahaba adopted the opinion that even when the prophet approached Allah, he did not see Him. Wallahu Aalam.

Like I said, whoever want's to believe can believe, and whoever does't want to believe it's up to them. I'm not going to pointlessly argue with people on the internet, who take their knowledge from the internet, and don't bother to learn Islaam from an autherntic source.

I am convinced that this is the truth, my Shaykh has explained this to me, and Alhamdulillah Allaah has guided my heart to the truth.

This will be my last post in this thread, and if someone wishes to discuss this further they can PM me.

May Allaah guide us all, Ameen.

And by the way I was not mentioning Dunya, it was on the Night of Miraaj when RasoolAllaah saw Allaah, just to clear that up.
