Divine Vision

Spiritual teachings about the vision of Allah

Divine Vision

The Arabic word 'Liqa' transliterated as 'Liqa' means vision or countenance. The use of this word in the Quranic verses also refers to Divine vision.

Purpose of Creation

Allah created mankind for the sole purpose of His recognition and to disclose both His beauty and majesty so that He is loved ardently.

Vision Through Ism-e-Allah Zaat

Allah Almighty can be seen through Ism-e-Allah Zaat. The barrier in the way of Divine vision is the self (nafs).

Prophet Moses' Experience

When Allah Almighty responded, "You cannot look upon Me" to Prophet Moses's plea for the vision of Allah, it was not a denial of the possibility of anyone ever having the Divine vision. Rather, He addressed Prophet Moses specifically, saying, "You cannot bear the luminosity of My vision".

Prophet's Prayer

A Prophet never prays for what is unattainable and forbidden. Prophet Moses sought the vision of Allah because he knew that seeing Allah was possible. Allah Almighty conditioned His vision to the mountain staying intact, and this condition itself is an evidence that the vision of Allah is attainable.

Divine Trust

Man took up the responsibility of Divine Trust in eternity so he has the ability to bear the theophany of Divine vision. This Trust is the Essence and light of Allah i.e. the light of Ism-e-Allah Zaat, and it is through this light that man can see Him.

Vision in This World

It is possible to behold Allah both in this world and the hereafter. Rather, it is the passion of Allah to be recognized which is not possible without His vision.

Purpose of Creation

The purpose of man's creation is the recognition and gnosis of Allah and this recognition is in fact Divine vision. The benevolence of Divine vision is specific to the Mystics and Fakirs.

Vision in Dreams

Seeing Allah in a dream is also possible as stated by our pious ancestors. Abu Hanifa and Ahmad ibn Hanbal proclaimed that they beheld Allah. In fact, Abu Hanifa narrated that he beheld Allah a hundred times in dreams.

Greatest Delight

There is no delight greater than experiencing the Divine vision. Allah can be beheld only with the spiritual sight not by the physical eyes.

Spiritual Journey

If someone presumes that he can physically walk towards Allah, then he is totally wrong. Allah is above and beyond all dimensions, time, space, directions, limitations, boundaries and quantities. The journey of Divine vision is in fact the esoteric journey of self-realization and recognition of the reality of man.
