Is the saying "Our Lord is with everyone" correct?
Summary of the : The fundamental principle regarding words is to consider the intentions and meanings intended by the speaker, especially among common people. Their speech is not required to conform to the rules of classical Arabic; rather, it should be understood in light of their customs and common vernacular. By "Rabbuna bil-kull" (Our Lord is with/by/for everyone/everything), people mean that Allah is greater than all and suffices them over all, which is a good meaning. It can be grammatically corrected by interpreting the preposition 'bi' (بِ) as signifying a substitute, meaning: "Rabbuna badala al-kull" (Our Lord instead of all) or "Rabbuna ‘awada al-kull" (Our Lord as a substitute for all), i.e., relying on Him instead of relying on anyone else.
