Continuation of the answer to the question: Is it permissible to say that Allah is present in every existing thing?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : But He is present in every existence, knowing every existing thing. That is, first, we must remove this phrase from our tongues. "Present in every existing thing"—we must purify our tongues of it. And this takes time. In fact, praise be to Allah, in our country this kind of talk is not found, but it may be found among you, among the remnants of the Sufis and the like. Yes, because it appears that among you, the Sufi is cheap.
The questioner : Heh
The Shaykh : Yes, in any case, it is possible that a Sufi says, "You see Allah in the handsome young man." Yes, He is present to the extent that He has reached this. That is why you find some of their elders more [devoted] than those around them.
The student: The two handsome ones.
The Shaykh : The two handsome ones. He says, "Because Allah..." I seek refuge in Allah. Perhaps they have these remnants of Sufism, that Allah is present in every existing thing. This is not permissible to say. It is not permissible to say it. But say, "Allah is All-Aware of every thing and All-Encompassing of every thing."
The questioner : , O Shaykh: Is it obligatory to witness Allah the Exalted, meaning...?
The Shaykh : No, no, it is not permissible. It is not permissible. This manager cannot manage even the administration room.
