The questioner : Shaykh.
The Shaykh : Yes, my dear friend.
The questioner : Report by Shaykh Ibn Ibrahim, the Shaykh.
The Shaykh : Yes
The questioner : In this case, its meaning is not interpreted by His knowledge; rather, it is in its reality.
The Shaykh : No, no, we do not say that the presence is real and that its necessary implications are knowledge, hearing, sight, and comprehensive awareness in general. Yes, it is broader and more inclusive than knowledge. Knowledge is only one of its implications and necessary consequences.
