Basically, the distinguishing chapter of the divine man from the material person is in monotheism. The Qur'an considers the existence of God to be a clear matter and considers doubt about this to be useless. Islamic sects do not differ in their belief in the principle of God's existence, but they have differences in the attributes of God, one of which is the issue of seeing God. Influenced by Ibn Taymiyyah's Salafi views, Suleiman al-Rumi believes in seeing God in the Hereafter and criticizes the Shiite belief in not seeing. Rational arguments reject the view of God in this world and the hereafter. Believers in vision, including the Salafis, rely on verses and hadiths to prove their point, which by meditating on these verses and examining the views of the commentators, the issue of seeing God from these verses does not result. On the other hand, verses explicitly deny seeing God. The narrations they argue also have a weak document. There are also narrations in Sunni and Shiite hadith sources that reject the view of God.
