Allah has a hijab

Allah has a hijab, which itself is Noor. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
If He were to raise the hijab, the rays of light from His noble face would destroy everything in existence. (sahih Muslim)⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Musa (AS) was the only Prophet who spoke directly to Allah. When he asked to see Him, Allah said I will show myself to the mountain, and if it can withstand me, you can see.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
When Allah revealed Himself to the mountain, it crumbled, and Musa (AS) fell unconscious.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
We don't have the power to withstand His ultimate beauty. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
“When the believers enter Paradise, Allah (swt) will say: 'Do you want anything more?' They will say, 'Have You not brightened our faces, admitted us to Paradise and saved us from Hell?’⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Then the hijab will be lifted and they will not have seen anything more dear to them than looking at their Lord.” (Muslim,266)⁣⁣
⁣⁣
But for the wrongdoers, they will be deprived of this most blissful gift.⁣⁣
