Narrated Abu Sa`id Al-Khudri:During the lifetime of the Prophet (ﷺ) some people said, : O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Shall we see our Lord on the Day of Resurrection?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Yes; do you have any difficulty in seeing the sun at midday when it is bright and there is no cloud in the sky?" They replied, "No." He said, "Do you have any difficulty in seeing the moon on a full moon night when it is bright and there is no cloud in the sky?" They replied, "No." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "(Similarly) you will have no difficulty in seeing Allah on the Day of Resurrection as you have no difficulty in seeing either of them. On the Day of Resurrection, a call-maker will announce, "Let every nation follow that which they used to worship." Then none of those who used to worship anything other than Allah like idols and other deities but will fall in Hell (Fire), till there will remain none but those who used to worship Allah, both those who were obedient (i.e. good) and those who were disobedient (i.e. bad) and the remaining party of the people of the Scripture. Then the Jews will be called upon and it will be said to them, 'Who do you use to worship?' They will say, 'We used to worship Ezra, the son of Allah.' It will be said to them, 'You are liars, for Allah has never taken anyone as a wife or a son. What do you want now?' They will say, 'O our Lord! We are thirsty, so give us something to drink.' They will be directed and addressed thus, 'Will you drink,' whereupon they will be gathered unto Hell (Fire) which will look like a mirage whose different sides will be destroying each other. Then they will fall into the Fire. Afterwards the Christians will be called upon and it will be said to them, 'Who do you use to worship?' They will say, 'We used to worship Jesus, the son of Allah.' It will be said to them, 'You are liars, for Allah has never taken anyone as a wife or a son,' Then it will be said to them, 'What do you want?' They will say what the former people have said. Then, when there remain (in the gathering) none but those who used to worship Allah (Alone, the real Lord of the Worlds) whether they were obedient or disobedient. Then (Allah) the Lord of the worlds will come to them in a shape nearest to the picture they had in their minds about Him. It will be said, 'What are you waiting for?' Every nation have followed what they used to worship.' They will reply, 'We left the people in the world when we were in great need of them and we did not take them as friends. Now we are waiting for our Lord Whom we used to worship.' Allah will say, 'I am your Lord.' They will say twice or thrice, 'We do not worship any besides Allah.' "

Sahih
It is related from Abu Sa'id al-Khudri that in the time of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, some people said, "Messenger of Allah, will we see our Lord on the Day of Rising?" The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, replied, "Yes, do you dispute with one another about seeing the sun at noon when it is light and there are no clouds?" They said, "No." He said, "Do you dispute with one another about seeing the moon on the night of the full moon when it is light and there are no clouds?" They answered, "No." He said, "You will not disagree about seeing Allah, the Mighty and Exalted, on the Day of Rising except as you disagree about seeing either of them. On the Day of Rising, an announcer will make a proclamation: 'Let every community follow what they used to worship.' None of those who worshipped other than Allah in the form of idols and figures will remain who does not fall into the Fire until there only remains those who worshipped Allah, pious or impious, and the remnants of the People of the Book. The Jews will be summoned and they will be asked, "What were you worshipping?" They will say, "We used to worship 'Uzayr the son of God." They will be told, "You lied. Allah has not taken consort or son. What are you seeking?" They will say, "We are thirsty, our Lord, so let us drink." An indication will be made, "Will you not be taken to drink?" and they will be gathered to the Fire which will be like a mirage whose parts are consuming one another. They will fall into the Fire. Then the Christians will be summoned and it will be said to them, "What were you worshipping?" They will say, "We used to worship the Messiah son of God." They will be told, "You lied. Allah has not taken consort or son. What are you seeking?" and it will like the first until none remains but those who worshipped Allah, pious or impious. The Lord of the worlds will come to them in the form nearest to the form in which they thought of Him. It will be said, "What are you waiting for? Every community has followed what they used to worship." They will say, "We parted from people in the world in spite of the greatest need for them and did not accompany them. We are waiting for our Lord whom we used to worship. He will say, "I am your Lord." They will say, "We will not associate anything with Allah' twice or three times."
