51: Whoever claims to have seen Allah in the world is a disbeliever.

Anyone who claims to have seen his Lord in this world is a disbeliever in Allah, the Mighty and Majestic.[1]

NOTES

[1] That is, one who claims to have seen Allah whilst awake. Perhaps he is referring to the extreme Soofees and those who claim that Allah is within His creation or that it is possible to become at one with, or annihilated with, Allah, or to those who claim that they have received knowledge and inspiration direct from Allah. High is Allah above, and far removed, from the claims they make.
