Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He also asks, may Allah preserve you, saying: Is it possible for a person to say that Allah is his close friend?
Answer:
How do I know that He is a close friend to you? Do you have evidence that He is a close friend? Allah took Ibrahim as a close friend, and no one shared that with him except our Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). Only the two Khalil (close friends). Yes.
