Question:
I ask Allah to do you good. Your Eminence, father, the questioner asks: Is this statement correct, that the presence of Allah the Exalted with His believing servants is an essential presence?
Answer:
No, Allah is not mixed with His creation. An essential presence means that He is mixed with His creation. Glorified is Allah above that, according to the view of the Jahmiyyah. However, He is with them by His knowledge, His encompassing care, His support, and His aid, not that He is mixed with them. Yes.
