2. The Incomparable Encounter
Seeing Allah on Judgment Day
The prophet said: "When the people of Paradise enter in
Paradise Allah will say to them, 'Do you need something
more?'
They will say, have you not whitened our faces? Have you
not entered us in Paradise and protected us from Hell?
Then, Allah will remove the veil. Looking to their Lord will
be more lovely to them than any thing else given to them.
And then, the Prophet recited this verse: {For those who
have done good is the best (reward, i.e. Paradise) and
even more (i.e. having the honour of glancing at the
Countenance of Allah (SWT) …}[10:26]
