First of all,muslim should not take his information about islam from non muslims,you should seek the knowledge about islam from Islamic sources .
Second,I like to mention important note which is:
All what has been revealed in AL QURAN or in AL SUNNAH as regards the (SIFAT) Qualities of Allah ( the most high) like His Face, Eyes,Hands,His coming,His rising over His throne ,His descent or His Laughing and others etc,The religious scholars of {the Quran and the Sunnah}Believe in these Qualities of Allah and they confirm that these are really His Qualities,without interpreting their meaning into different things(ie.giving resemblance or similarity to any of the creatures or completely ignoring or denying them,i.e.there is no Face or Eyes or Hands , etc, for Allah}.These Qualities befits or suits only for Allah Alone,and He doesnot resemble to any of His creatures.As Allah statement ( in the Quran):THERE IS NOTHING LIKE UNTI HIM,and He is the All Hearer,The All Seer 24/11,There is none comparable unto Him 112/4
We believe that the believers will see their Lord on the Day of Resurrection: "Upon that day some faces shall be radiant, gazing upon their Lord" (75:22-3).
We believe that "vision cannot perceive Him, but He perceives all vision. He is the Incomprehensible, the All-aware" (6:103).
Jarir ibn 'Abdullah said, "We were with the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and he looked at the moon on the night of the full moon. He said, 'You will see your Lord directly as you see this moon and you will not be harmed by seeing Him." [Agreed upon]
Suhayb reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "When the people of the Garden enter the Garden, Allah, the Blessed and Exalted will say, 'Do you desire Me to add anything else to what you have?' They will say, 'Are not our faces shining white? Have not You admitted us to the Garden and saved us from the Fire?' Then He will lift the veil and they could not be given anything they love more than looking at His Face.
L Jarir said, "We were with the Prophet and he looked at the moon--full-moon--and said, 'Certainly you will see your Lord as you see this moon and you will have no trouble in seeing Him. So if you can avoid missing (through sleep or business, etc.) a prayer before the sun-rise (Fajr) and a prayer before sunset ('Asr), you must do so.' He then recited Allah's Statement:
And celebrate the praises Of your Lord before The rising of the sun And before (its) setting." (50.39) Isma'il said, "Offer those prayers and do not miss them,muslim. We believe that Allah has no equal because His Attributes are perfect: "There is nothing whatsoever like unto Him. He is the All-hearing, the All-seeing" (42:11). „ We believe that "no slumber or sleep seizes Him" (2:255), because His life is perfect and eternal.
Allah (The most High) says (Some faces that Day shall be Nādirah (shining and radiant). Looking at their Lord (Allāh);75/22/23 ,and He says :
Remember) the Day when the Shin[] shall be laid bare (i.e. the Day of Resurrection) and they shall be called to prostrate (to Allāh), but they (hypocrites) shall not be able to do so,68/42.
We should not use any word to describe Allah ( the most High), other than what Allah or His messenger used,We should believe in what He said or His messenger ( P B UP HIM) said about Him,without saying (HOW).
For more detailes ,please read the Tafseer of the last 2 verses I have mentioned in the ( Tafseer Ibn Katheer,and in Saheeh Al Bukharee.).
May Allah ( S W T ) guide all of us,,ameen
