“Abu Basir has related that he said to Abu Abdallah (Imam Jafar-al-Sadiq) - upon whom be peace: “Tell me about God, the Mighty and Majestic Will believers see Him on the Day of Resurrection?”
The Imam answered, “Yes, and they have already seen Him before the Day of Resurrection.”
Abu Basir asked, “When?”
The Imam answered, “When He (Allah) said to them, ‘Am I not your Lord?’ They said: ‘Yea, verily’ (Qur’an 7:172).” Then he was quiet for a time. Then he said, “Truly the believers see Him in this world before the Day of Resurrection…. But seeing with the heart (al-ru’yah b-il-qalb) is not like seeing with the eyes (al- ru’yah bi-l-ayn). High be God exalted above what the comparers (mushabbihun) and heretics (mulhidun) describe!”
(Imam Jafar al-Sadiq (a.s.) on perceiving with the heart - from “A Shi’ite Anthology”)
