In arguing for vision in the Hereafter, classical Sunni scholarship appeals to Qur’anic texts, transmitted reports and statements of earlier authorities. Historical differences about a particular event must be distinguished from differences over the general possibility of vision.
For instance, reports and opinions vary concerning whether and in what sense the Prophet experienced vision during the Miʿrāj. The particular historical question is separate from the broader transmitted case for believers’ vision in the Hereafter. Disagreement about one occasion does not logically negate every possible vision.
