,” does he ask: Do we affirm the attribute of being “with” (al-‘ind) for Allah?

Answer:
Yes, there is no doubt.
Indeed, those who are near your Lordإِنَّ الَّذِينَ عِندَ رَبِّكَ
[Al-A'raf 7:206]
The angels who are near are near to Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He). This nearness is a nearness of place, a nearness of place, and not a nearness of power as the people of figurative interpretation (mawil) say. It is a nearness of place, so the angels and those of His believing servants whom He wishes to honor are near to Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He), close to Him. Yes.
