The answer

The greatest bliss for the people of Paradise is gazing upon the Face of Allah the Almighty. This is what Ibn Al-Qayyim elucidated, stating that the perfection of pleasure and joy is contingent upon the perfection of the Beloved and one's love for Him. Thus, the stronger the love, the more complete the pleasure. As for the continuity of gazing, what appears evident is that the vision is not continuous all the time, but rather it recurs at intervals according to one's deeds. Some will see Allah morning and evening, and the generality of them will see Him every Friday on the Day of Increase (Yawm al-Mazeed). It has been reported that maintaining the Fajr and Asr prayers is a reason for seeing Allah in Paradise at these two times, and maintaining the Friday prayer is a reason for seeing Allah on the Day of Increase.
