LessonsVision of God: Possibility, Evidence, Objections and TranscendenceQuiz

وهو معنى إثبات الشيء كما هو بحاسة البصر
It is apprehending a thing as it is through the faculty of sight.

Complete disclosure is more than knowing that something exists. A person may possess accurate information about someone who is absent, yet direct sight provides a distinct mode of awareness. Knowledge gained by inference, testimony and vision cannot simply be treated as identical.

A created example clarifies the distinction but does not make every physical condition of creaturely vision applicable to God. The analogy establishes a difference between knowing and seeing, not a bodily resemblance between the objects seen.
