Is the companionship real?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Yes, Muhammad.
The questioner : The moon is with us.
The Shaykh : Yes
The questioner : The reality is that it is not with us.
The Shaykh : No, it is not with you. It is known that they are with you in your boxes, but we are walking with it...
The questioner : Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) is truly with us.
The Shaykh : Yes, but truly with us, not in a place.
The questioner : Truly with us.
The Shaykh : In a place? No.
The questioner : ...
The Shaykh : No, my brother. A thing may be with you now. For example, Bandar is with me, is he not? And Khalid al-Muzayn is with me, is he not? Is there a difference between them in terms of nearness and distance? There is a difference. A thing may be with you while it is far away. If it is not hidden from you—neither from your hearing, nor from your sight, nor from your power and authority—then it is with you, even if it is far.
The questioner : And we cannot imagine...
The Shaykh : No, we do not imagine it. We do not imagine its modality.
The questioner : ...
The Shaykh : No, we can imagine Him. Allah (Mighty and Majestic) is above everything. Nothing of our deeds is hidden from Him.
The questioner : He sees us.
The Shaykh : He sees us and hears us, and He has authority over us, and power, and dominion, and everything. Yes, indeed.
The questioner : Shaykh.
The Shaykh : Yes, yes.
The questioner : ...
The Shaykh : It is not separated...
