Is the hadith of the Mi'raj considered a refutation of the people of the Unity of Existence, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ascended to Him?

Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner asks: Is the hadith of the Mi'raj considered a refutation of the people of the Unity of Existence? Because if Allah the Exalted were with us on earth, it would not have been necessary for the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) to ascend to Him?

Answer:
Yes, this is among the evidence for the exaltation of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He), because the ascent is only to what is above. So Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) is in the exaltation , meaning you ascend to Him, so He is in the exaltation, because the ascent is only to what is above. So He is distinct from His creation, above His heavens (Glorified and Exalted is He), not a state within His creations. Yes.
