Summary of Sunni concepts
The closeness of God Almighty and His companionship to His servants are of two types, general and specific
Proximity and public awareness are due to knowledge and the ability to create
Among its evidence is the saying of God Almighty
We created man and know what his soul whispers to him
We are closer to Him than our jugular vein
And he said
Have you not seen that God knows what is in the heavens and what is on earth?
There is no secret talk between three people except that he is the fourth of them
There are no five but he is the sixth of them
There is nothing less than that or more except that He is with them
Wherever they are
Then He will inform them of what they did on the Day of Resurrection
God is All-Knowing of everything
And he said
They underestimate people, but they do not underestimate God, and He is with them
When they express what they do not like to say
And God encompasses what they do
He concluded the last two verses with knowledge or awareness
This indicates that this is what is meant by association
Secondly, proximity and special companionship
They are His nearness and companionship, the Almighty, to His pious worshipers
This is by accepting their worship and answering their prayers
As in the Almighty’s saying
So ask Him for forgiveness and then repent to Him
Indeed, my Lord is near and responds
And the Almighty said
And if My servants ask you about Me, I am near
I answer the call of the supplicant when he calls
That's why he added his saying "close".
In these two verses the answer
I answer, I answer
God's special presence is also for His pious servants
With aid and support
As in the Almighty’s saying
O you who have believed, seek help through patience and prayer
God is with those who are patient
And the Almighty said
God is with those who meet and those who are doers of good
