Allah’s attention to the worshippers despite their large numbers

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
It is not that Satan… [garbled]… What is meant is that there is no contradiction between Allah’s attention to His servant and His bestowing of blessings upon him in prayer, even with a large number of people present. If there is a large number of believers in prayer, Allah will face them and speak with them.

Answer:
This is with regard to you, who cannot face many people at once. But Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, is capable of everything. My brother, Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, accepts the supplications of all the people of the earth and the people of the heavens in a single year, and their supplications do not differ in His sight, Blessed and Exalted is He. The multitude of supplications, the multitude of supplicants, and the multitude of needs do not confuse Him. You do not disappear from the Creator’s view. The created being cannot face several people, or a line of ten or a hundred people, at the same time. Yes, this is with regard to the created being. But the Creator, Glorified and Exalted is He, is capable of everything. Yes.
