11. Tick among the following who saw the Almighty
Allah with human eye

b. Musa Kaleemullah
c. Mohammed Rasullullah
d. Isa Ruhullah
e. None
Answer: e) None.
We all have some or many experiences in our life feeling the presence of Allah. But nobody has seen Allah directly. In Al Anam (103) Allah himself has told about Himself. "No vision can grasp Himbut He grasps All vision."
Musa
said: "O my Lord show me (yourself), that I may look upon you." Allah
said: "You cannot see Me, but look at the mountain; if it stands still in
its place then you shall see Me." So when his Lord appeared to the
mountain, He made it collapse it to dust, and Musa fell down unconscious. Then
when recovered his senses he said: "Glory be to You, I turn to You in
repentance and I am the first of the believers." Thus even Musa (AS)
cannot see Allah directly (Al Araf, 7:143).
When our Prophet ﷺ has been enquired by somebody whether he saw Allah during his night journey, He said, "I saw a Light. His veil is light. How could I see Him?"
Allah himself has revealed in surah Noor (24:35) "Allah is the Light of the heavens and earth. The parable of His Light is as (if there were) a niche and within it is a lamp: the lamp is in a glass, the glass as it were a brilliant star, lit from a blessed tree, an olive, neither of the east nor of the west, whose oil would almost glow forth (of itself), though no fire touched it. Light upon Light! Allah guides to His Light whom He wills. And Allah sets forth parables for mankind and All Knower of everything."
In another place Quran refers to the light of Allah as, "And the earth will shine with the light of its Lord" (39:69).
The people of Paradise of course can see Allah as they are nearer to Him. This is confirmed with the verses of Allah in surah Qiyamath "Some faces that Day shall be shining and radiant. Looking at their Lord." (75: 22-23).
Let Allah's light guides us throughout our lives. Ameen!
