[Pooya/Ali Commentary 2:46] The reward of spiritual discipline and worship of Allah is the certainty of the knowledge of the return to Allah. Aqa Mahdi Puya says: The word liqa (meeting or encounter) has been used in the Quran many times. It is wrong to interpret it as seeing. The theory of the possibility of seeing Allah (ruyat) in this world or in the hereafter assumes the personification of God, which is a fanciful conjecture against the fundamental article of the faith (the absolute unity), therefore, has been rejected by the Holy Quran: "vision perceives Him not" (An-am: 103), and the Holy Prophet and the holy Imams. Ali ibna abi Talib says: I do not worship the God whom I cannot see, not through sight, (but) through insight. Therefore, liqa means realisation through insight and not by physical vision.
