In Surah Yusuf, Allah Ta’ala says :

“SAY (O MUHAMMAD صلى الله عليه وسلم ) : THIS IS MY WAY; I INVITE UNTO ALLAH WITH BASEERAT (DISCERNMENT AND INSIGHT), I
AND WHOSOEVER FOLLOWS ME….”
[SURAH YUSUF 12 : 108]

This Baseerat (perception and sight of the heart) is of perfect and pure Tauheed. Having perceived Allah Ta’ala with the eyes of the heart, Rasulullah صلى الله عليه وسلم,  and all those who follow him [i.e. the Sahabah رضي الله عنهما  and Mashaa'ik of the Ummat] invite others to the same way.

Mufti Muhammad Shafi (Rahmatullah ‘alaih), the author of Ma’ariful Qur'aan, in defining the Baseerat (inner-sight) of the Siddiqeen (those who attain unto the highest stages of
piety), mentions that someone asked Hazrat Ali رضي الله عنه  : “Have you seen Allah Ta’ala?”

Hazrat Ali رضي الله عنه  replied : “I cannot worship something I have
not seen.” He thereafter explained his reply : “Though people have not seen Allah Ta’ala with their eyes, but their hearts have seen Him through the realities of faith.”

To cite an example, whereby we may glimpse of such Imaan; it has also been mentioned that Hazrat Ali رضي الله عنه  had disclosed regarding his inner-sight: “When I will behold Jannat and Jahannum on the Day of Judgement, my conviction in its
reality will not increase by even an atom.”
