Time and mode matter. The occurrence of waking vision of God in worldly life is disputed in the transmitted material, and accounts of the Prophet’s Miʿrāj are interpreted differently. A disagreement concerning one historical occurrence does not eliminate the general possibility of vision.
Reports about seeing God in dreams and Sufi descriptions of spiritual witnessing must not simply be equated with the bodily faculty’s vision promised for the Hereafter. A dream-image is not to be assigned as God’s true form, which would violate transcendence. Dream, inward witnessing and eschatological vision are distinct modes and claims.
