Question
How do we reconcile between the Aayat of not being able to see Allah in this world and the claim of some Auliya that they had seen Allah Ta'ala in their dreams?
Answer
Seeing Allah Azza Wa Jal with the physical eyes and seeing a Vision in a dream are two issues as different as heaven and earth. While the former is an issue reserved for us in Jannat, the latter is a possibility on earth for anyone. Since there is no conflict, there is no need for a reconciliation. A reconciliation is necessary only if there is a conflict. A conflict would have developed only if the teaching was that seeing Allah Ta'ala even in a dream is not possible.
