LessonsLanguage of Creed: Negation, Restriction and ImplicationQuiz

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

Clause structure: Al-ruʾyatu ḥaqq affirms vision. Bi-ghayri iḥāṭah wa lā kayfiyyah then adds two negative qualifications; neither cancels the original assertion.

Meaning and inference: The affirmed vision of the people of Paradise is understood alongside the denial of encompassing and specifying its modality.

Limit of inference: Not knowing a modality is not the same as denying vision, and affirming vision does not entail encompassing the divine essence.
