“Lord! Let Me See You!”
People basically seek for God for their natural eager. The highest level that one can reach is Liqaullah: the vision of God. But here arises a big question: Is it possible to see God and how? Even children today are eager to see God, so they ask in their own language: “Dear God, can I see you?”
In this sense, Imam Ali’s speech is to be understood when he answered his follower’s question, ‘whether he (the Imam) would ever have seen Allah’, saying: “How can I worship something that I do not see?” But at the same time, the Imam said: “Eyes do not reach Him through physical sight, but hearts with the true faith do!”
