The question

Is it true that Allah cannot be described as "present" because He does not come to anyone, and that Gabriel did not stand before Allah, the proof being his not continuing with the Prophet during the Mi'raj at the Lote Tree of the Utmost Boundary?

The answer

Precision in terminology is crucial when speaking about Allah and the Unseen, and one should adhere strictly to the sacred texts. Advice among female teachers should be given wisely and in private, not in front of students, as public admonition can resemble rebuke. The phrase "حضرة الله" (Presence of Allah) does not imply standing before Him like a creature, but rather encompasses what is in His sight or close to Him, and Allah is close to His servants.
