Imam Abdallah ibn Alawi al-Haddad (Allah have mercy on him) (d.1132 Hijri) said,
‘The aim and spirit of awrād is presence with Allah.
Aim for it; you will reach it only if you travel the road that leads to it, which is performing the external activities and striving to be present with Allah during them. When you persevere in this you become immersed in the lights of Proximity, and the sciences of gnosis emanate upon you, at which your heart becomes wholly intent on God and presence becomes its nature and well-established quality.’

Assalamu ‘Alaykum wa Rahmatullah
Is ‘Allah ka dehan’ meant by ‘presence with Allah’? If not, then please elaborate on it. Jazak’Allah khairan.

Yes. Khiyal, dehyan and huzoori are all correct.
