Ruling on the phrase: (The first wherever you are) (We are with you wherever you are)

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
[The ruling on the phrase: (The first wherever you are) (We are with you wherever you are)
May Allah reward you, O Shaykh! I found a phrase written on an advertisement for a certain type of tea,She says: (The first wherever you are),And there is also a phrase on one of the banks that says: (We are with you wherever you are), and I do not know! Are such phrases permissible in an absolute sense? Or do they have restrictions? Or is it not permissible to use them at all except for Allah (Mighty and Majestic)?

These phrases in the tea: (The first wherever you are),The owner wants: that this type of tea is number one wherever a person is, and this phrase is not appropriate,And the intended meaning is: it is the advertisement for this tea.
And I do not think that the one who wrote it has in mind that he wants by the word (the first) what is intended when Allah is mentioned, I do not think that.
And likewise the phrase (We are with you wherever you are),We say: May Allah not greet you nor bid you farewell, O banks, and we do not want you to be with us, nor be we with you, and we ask Allah the Exalted to facilitate the conversion of these banks to Islamic transactions in the nearest possible time.
They also want to say that this bank is with you wherever you are,Meaning: that if you are in your country you can benefit, and if you are in another country you can benefit as has happened recently, and I do not think they also want the companionship of Allah (Mighty and Majestic) for His creation, I do not think that.
But despite that, I see that these phrases should be replaced.

So as for the tea phrase, it is said: (This is the best tea), if it is true, perhaps it is not the best tea; but on the assumption that it is true.
And as for the banks, it is good that the phrase be replaced with another phrase,For example: (We hope you will help us to convert these banks to Islamic banks).
