I hope this clears up the confusion.

"And say of me that I am still thy servant [sharing in thy Kindness], drawing near to thee, no longer distant." I am not sure if I'm reading this correctly or not (and do forgive me if I am) but I was wondering if someone can explain these lines in more detail. A brother pointed out that isn't "sharing" like attributing partners with Allah which is Shirk? Or is it because of the translation (since it is difficult to translate Arabic) that the words have been misundertsood? Please clarify this matter for me Insha'Allah. May Allah reward you for all of your efforts! Assaalaamu’aalaaykum
