وَالرُّؤْيَةُ حَقٌّ لِأَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ بِغَيْرِ إِحَاطَةٍ وَلَا كَيْفِيَّةٍ
The people of Paradise will truly see Allah, without encompassing Him or determining a modality.

Claim under examination: A person argues that affirming the vision of Allah necessarily gives the viewer exhaustive comprehension of the divine reality.

What the text establishes: The text affirms vision with the explicit restriction “without encompassing and without modality.” The reality of vision and denial of exhaustive comprehension are stated together.

What does not follow: Vision does not by itself establish a specific modality, direction, or exhaustive grasp. The qualification in the text belongs to the doctrine.

Application: After affirming the vision, state the restriction that prevents overinterpretation.
