Will Believers in Paradise See Allah Twice a Day?

Understanding the Concept of Seeing Allah in Paradise

Question: Will some people in Paradise be blessed with seeing Allah twice a day?

Answer: There is a hadith in Musnad Ahmad and Tirmidhi with this meaning. I present this hadith from Tirmidhi. Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) said that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said:

"The lowest ranking person in Paradise will be the one who looks at his gardens, wives, blessings, servants, and thrones, which will be a distance of a thousand years. And the most honored by Allah will be the one who looks at His face morning and evening." Then the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) recited this verse: 'Some faces that Day will be radiant, looking at their Lord' (Al-Qiyamah: 22-23).

This hadith has been declared weak by Sheikh Albani. See: (Da’if al-Jami’: 1382, Da’if al-Targhib: 2246, Da’if al-Tirmidhi: 3330).

Since this hadith is weak, we cannot say based on it that the higher-ranking believers will see Allah twice a day in Paradise. Matters of Paradise are from the unseen, and clear evidence is required for them. It is true that there will be differences in the ranks of believers in Paradise based on their faith and deeds, but we cannot speak about matters for which we do not have definitive proof.
