Abstract

One of the important eschatological events in Islamic theology is the seeing of God, which requires numerous controversial debates. Arguing with the rational and traditional proofs, Ashāirah believe in the seeing of God with the eye of the head. The logical argumentation, which innovated by abu'l-Hassan al-Ash'ari for the first time and was reclaimed by others in various versions, due to arguing that God can be the object of human vision fell into disrepute and went into a decline. Hence, Ash'arites such as Imām Fakhr al-Rāzī concluded that matters of faith like as the seeing of God cannot be demonstrated through a rational way with beseeching to human reason, but the only path for corroborating them is appealing to the outward of Qur'ān and Hadīth.
