The Salafi interpretation of Allah being "nearer than the jugular vein" in the Quran does not mean Allah is physically located near the jugular vein. Instead, it refers to Allah's complete knowledge and encompassing power, which is closer to a person than their own jugular vein. The verse is an analogy to emphasize Allah's closeness in knowledge and control, not physical proximity. 

The moment salafis accepted the metaphorical intepration of location of one verse, they lost the whole argument about God physical location in Heaven. 

How in the world you choose sitting in arsh between metaphorical or physical intepration now???
