But here lies the limitation: the tangible perception of God is not truly possible before the Hereafter. In the Hereafter, undoubtedly, humans will see God. The Quran states that ‘Some faces will be radiant on that Day, looking towards their Lord’ (75:22-23). This is also established to the level of certainty through hadith.
