Seeing the Face of Allah in Paradise just like seeing the full moon — this is the highest pleasure in Paradise
The Highest Pleasure in Paradise is Seeing the Noble Face of Allah
-In the study of Tawheed, one of Allah’s attributes is that He has a Face, which we often read in evidences: “seeking the Face of Allah”
-This is a real Face, not to be distorted in meaning, but its reality and form are unknown to us. Our duty is only to believe that Allah has a Face.
Allah says,
“For those who do good is the best reward and more [seeing the Face of Allah]. No darkness will cover their faces, nor humiliation. Those are the companions of Paradise; they will abide therein eternally.” (QS. Yunus: 26)
The meaning of “ziyadah” (زِيَادَةٌ) is an additional blessing for the people of Paradise: seeing the Face of Allah. Ibn Kathir explained:
وأفضل من ذلك وأعلاه النظر إلى وجهه الكريم
“The best and highest addition is looking at the Noble Face of Allah” (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)
Some other evidences:
1. A believer will be radiant seeing the face of his Lord on the Day of Resurrection, as mentioned in the Qur’an[1][Paradise][2]
2. The highest pleasure in Paradise is seeing the Noble Face of Allah, as mentioned in hadith[3]
3. We are taught to pray to be able to see the Face of Allah[4]
4. The disbelievers on the Day of Resurrection will be veiled from seeing their Lord, as mentioned in the Qur’an[5]
-Allah cannot be seen in this world, only in the Hereafter after humans experience death. This is the meaning of the verse that Allah cannot be grasped by vision — meaning the vision in this world. As for the Hereafter, we can see the Noble Face of Allah.
