All praise is due to Allah, and may peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah.
The believers’ vision of their Lord in the Hereafter is established for all people of faith. It is not limited to those who are never punished; rather, it also includes believers who enter Paradise after being punished, because the religious texts affirm this vision in general terms for the believers.
Allah, the Exalted, says:
“Some faces on that Day will be radiant, looking at their Lord.” [Al-Qiyamah 75:22–23]
And He, Glorified be He, says concerning the disbelievers:
“No! Indeed, they will be screened from their Lord on that Day.” [Al-Mutaffifin 83:15]
These verses indicate that the believers will be honored by seeing Allah, the Exalted, unlike the disbelievers, who will be prevented from seeing Him.
It is authentically reported that the Prophet ﷺ said:
“Indeed, you will see your Lord as you see this moon, without crowding or difficulty in seeing Him.” Agreed upon by Al-Bukhari and Muslim.
This is a general address to the believers, and there is no evidence excluding sinful Muslims or those who were punished for their sins before subsequently entering Paradise.
The scholars of Ahl al-Sunnah have affirmed that believers will see their Lord on the Day of Resurrection and in Paradise, whether they are among those who obeyed Allah or those who were punished for their sins and then saved by Allah’s mercy.
As for the hypocrites, scholars have mentioned that they will see Allah during the gathering on the Day of Resurrection and will subsequently be screened from Him, making their regret even greater.
In conclusion: Seeing Allah, the Exalted, is the greatest blessing enjoyed by the people of Paradise. It is affirmed for all believers who enter Paradise and is not restricted to those who were never punished in this world or in the Hereafter.
And Allah knows best.
