The questioner : That is your answer. Now, is it permissible for us to say that Allah is present?
The Shaykh : It is permissible, yes, but "present" is not one of His names.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : It is permissible for the purpose of expressing the intended meaning, but He is not described by it because it is not a proper name for Him (Glorified and Exalted is He). Yes.
The questioner : May Allah bless you.
The Shaykh : And may He bless you in return.
