The reader: "And Muhammad ibn al-Mawsili said in the book *Istij'al al-Sawa'i' al-Mursalah 'ala al-Jahmiyyah wa al-Mu'tadilah* by Ibn al-Qayyim, in the ninth example, p. 409, regarding the Imam: 'The utmost that it indicates' with "companionship, concurrence, and proximity in any matter. And this conjunction in every instance has its own implications, and it necessitates consequences according to its object. If it is said: 'Allah is with His creation' in a general sense, then among the implications of that is His knowledge of them, His management of them, and His power over them. And if it is specific, as in His saying: [An-Nahl 16:128], then among the implications of that is His being with them through victory, support, and assistance. The presence of Allah the Exalted with His servant is of two types: general and specific. The Noble Qur'an contains both types, and this is not by way of verbal homonymy, but its reality is the appropriate companionship mentioned previously. End of quote."
Ibn Rajab mentioned in his commentary on the twenty-ninth hadith of *Al-Arba'in al-Nawawiyyah* that the specific presence necessitates victory, support, protection, and assistance, and that the general presence necessitates His knowledge, His awareness, and His supervision of their deeds.
And Ibn Kathir said in his tafsir of the verse of presence in Surat al-Mujadilah: "For this reason, more than one scholar has reported the consensus that the intended meaning of this presence is the presence of His knowledge. He said: There is no doubt in the intention of that, but His hearing is also with His knowledge of them, and His sight penetrates them" .

The reader: "Yes, but His hearing is also with His knowledge of them, and His sight penetrates them. So He, Glorified and Exalted is He, is overlooking His creation, and nothing of their affairs is hidden from Him. End of quote".
Indeed, Allah is with those who fear Him and those who are doers of good.
