His words, “No vision can perceive Him, but He perceives all vision” [al-An‘ām 103], as referring to life in this world. When asked about seeing Him in the Hereafter, he said: “Yes, openly, just as you see the sun and the full moon at night.” Thus the Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) explained both meanings, contrary to your claim.

What is astonishing is your ignorance of the plain wording of the Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace): you conceive of seeing Allah openly as being like seeing the sun and the moon, yet claim that this is a notion entertained by those whom you ignorantly call anthropomorphists. According to your claim, then, the Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) would be the foremost anthropomorphist, since he likened seeing Him to seeing the sun and the moon, just as those you call anthropomorphists did.

As for the sophistry with which you misled your ignorant followers concerning seeing Allah on the Day of Resurrection, you said: Do you not see that when the people of Moses said, “Show us Allah openly” [al-Nisā’ 153], the thunderbolt seized them? They said, “We will never believe you until we see Allah openly” [al-Baqarah 55], and the thunderbolt seized them. And they said, “Or we should see our Lord.” “They have certainly been arrogant within themselves and have transgressed with great insolence” {21}.
