Quran,Translation and Commentary in Brief (Vol. 02)
HE IS THE CREATOR OF EVERYTHING VERSE NO. 100- 103Verses 104-107

EYES CANNOT SEE GOD

      Logical reasoning will show that God can never be seen by the physical eyes of any creature. This is because eyes can see material objects and apprehened color and quality, while God has no material essence, and such qualities, to react against light in order to stimulate the eyes.

      In several instances in Quran, the physical vision of God has strictly been rejected. In one incident in the Mount Sinai, Moses asked to see God physically and he was told that God can never be seen by the sense of sight, and by any sensual power. We read in Quran - S 7:.143:

      ``When Moses came to the place appointed by us, and his Lord addressed him, he said: `O, My Lord! Show yourself to me so that I may look at you.''

      Allah said: ``You can never see me - I am not a thing to be seen by the material eye.''

      Strange enough, that, some of the Sonni Commentators believe that in the life to come, God can be seen!

      Falsehood, and invalidity of such a claim is so evident that it needs no further discussion. This is because no Muslim has any doubt that Ressurrection of man will be entirely corporeal and bodily. So, can we say that, in the Ressurrection Day God will change and reduce to a limited material substance so that He is seen by the physical eye!? And if the visit and vision is spiritually, here, too we can easily see our Lord.

      A Muslim asked Hazrat IMAM Ali (AS); ``Have you ever seen your Lord?'' ``How do I worship a God Whom I do not see, then?'' was the answer. Then Hazrat IMAM Ali, added: ``God cannot be seen by the physical eyes, but we may see him through the facts of belief and religion.'' Imam Sadiq too, in answer to the same question, said: ``Eyes cannot perceive things that have no colour or some particular qualities, and our Lord is the Creator of colours and qualities.''
