If the intended meaning of "juwar" (proximity/neighborliness) is closeness to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, in Paradise, then it is permissible to supplicate for that, while being diligent in pursuing its causes, such as obeying Allah and His Messenger. However, if the intended meaning is proximity in the sense of sharing his exact rank, then it is not permissible to supplicate for that, as it is a form of transgression in supplication, which is forbidden by Islamic law.
