Riyad as-Salihin, 1051
Jarir bin 'Abdullah Al-Bajali (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
We were sitting with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) when he looked at the full moon and observed, "You will see your Rubb in the Hereafter as you see this moon having no difficulty in seeing it. So try your best to perform the prayers before the rising of the sun and that before its setting." <b>[Al-Bukhari and Muslim]</b>.
- وعن جرير بن عبد الله البجلي رضي الله عنه قال: كنا عند النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم، فنظر إلى القمر ليلة البدر فقال: "إنكم سترون ربكم كما ترون هذا القمر، لاتضامون في رؤيته، فإن استطعتم أن لا تغلبو على صلاة قبل طلوع الشمس، وقبل غروبها فافعلوا" ((متفق عليه)). ((وفي رواية: "فنظر إلى القمر ليلة أربع عشرة")).

<b>Guidance from the Hadith:</b><br>
1) It establishes the fact that the believers will see their Lord clearly in Paradise. Indeed, this is one of the best and most sublime aspects of bliss in Paradise.<br>
2) Offering the Fajr and ‘Asr prayers regularly is among the reasons leading to seeing Allah Almighty in Paradise.<br>
3) The believer believes authentic reports from the Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) and does not reject them by reason. He should not say: How can we see Allah Almighty?! Submission is the attitude of the believer regarding all religious rulings and reports.
