(3: 45) It can be inferred from traditions and Qur’anic verses that distinguished and deserving God's servants who have surpassed others in belief, faith, and righteous deeds shall be blessed with the most privileged and exalted position of God's Countenance, and in accordance to the interpretation of some verses has been also named “the Place of Nearness to the Most Magnificent King” ( Malik Muqtadar ). Also, the martyrs will be assigned this special position.

And how could it be imagined that a person may reach closer to God-Almighty. The nearness means being close and could be defined as follows: 1. Nearness Relative to Place The two existence which are closer physically are called near to each other . 2. Nearness Relative to Time When two things are closer to each other relative to time are called near to each other.

Of course, it is evident that nearness of (God's) servants with Him could not belong to the above mentioned two categories, because, God-Almighty is beyond the limits of time and place rather is the creator of them, therefore, it is not possible for any thing to have nearness with Him relative to time and place. 3. Metaphorical Nearness Sometimes it is said that Mr. X is very close and intimate with Mr. Y, which means that Mr. Y Respects, likes, and accepts Mr.

X's recommendations and suggestions. This sort of nearness is called metaphorical, figurative, and ceremonial but is not real. Could this kind of nearness be possible between a servant and God?

Of course, it is true God loves His deserving servants and accepts their prayers but still this kid of nearness could not be possible between a servant and God-Almighty, because as was pointed out earlier, that this has been proved by the logical sciences and Qur’anic verses, and traditions also support that the wayfarer, his direction, and straight path all are real things and are not figurative and ceremonial.
