Can we see Allah in the Hereafter, the same way we see the other things?
**EDIT**
@owari commented the link to this page that has already listed the Shia references from Quran and Hadith that watching Allah by eyes is impossible before or after death, including:
> لاَّ تُدْرِكُهُ الأَبْصَارُ وَهُوَ يُدْرِكُ الأَبْصَارَ وَهُوَ
> اللَّطِيفُ الْخَبِيرُ - الانعام 103
>
> وَلَمَّا جَاءَ مُوسَى لِمِيقَاتِنَا وَكَلَّمَهُ رَبُّهُ قَالَ رَبِّ
> أَرِنِي أَنظُرْ إِلَيْكَ قَالَ لَنْ تَرَانِي - الأعراف:143
Also Shia interprets ناظرة in ayah below as *waiting* rewards from the Lord:
> وجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ ناضِرَةٌ إِلى رَبِّها ناظِرَةٌ - القيامة 22 ,23
So I narrow down this question to the ideas of Sunni brothers - to prevent duplicate question:
- What is the most agreed idea of Sunni scholars about watching Allah in the Hereafter?
- Do all Sunni scholars have the same idea about this?
- What is the reasoning behind their ideas?
- If some (or all) believe we are able to see Allah in the Hereafter, do they mean seeing him the same way we see any other object now?
