Allah is everywhere

Some people imagine that they themselves, matter and the world they
see all aroundthem are all absolute beings. But they regard Allah
(surely He is beyond that) as an imagination pervading that absolute
matter. Or else, since they cannot see Him with their own eyes, they
say: "Allah must be somewhere we cannot see, in space or far away from
human eyes." (Surely Allah is beyond that.) But these are all grave
errors.
Because Allah is everywhere,not just in the sky. As the soleabsolute
being, Allah enfoldsthe whole universe, all people and places, the
heavens and everywhere. And Allah is manifested in the whole universe.
According to the hadith, our Prophet (saas) said that someone who said
that Allahwas in the sky was telling the truth. But this account in no
way conflicts with the fact that Allah is everywhere.Because if
someone at your location on Earth raises his hands and prays to Allah
and thinks that Allah is in the sky, while someone at the South Pole
turns to Allah in the same way, while someone else at the North Pole
raises his hands and yet another individual in Japan, or America or
Ecuador raises his hands to the sky in the same way and turns to
Allah, then it is impossible to speak of any fixed direction. In the
same way, if djinn, angels and demons at various pointsin space and
the universe also pray toward the skies, it will again be impossible
to speak of any fixed direction, and the situation will be one that
covers the entire universe.
We must not also forget that Allah is unfettered by time and space.
Allah's self is something different. But the manifestations of Allah
are everywhere. If someone enters a room and says Allah is not there,
he is denying Allah. The manifestations of Allah are in that room and
everywhere. Wherever you may turn, manifestations of Allah are there.
Several verses of the Qur'an state that Allah pervades all places,
that He is closer to us than our own jugular veins, and that we will
see His face wherever we look. For example, in verse 255 of Surat
al-Baqara Allah says "... His Footstool encompasses the heavens and
the earth...."Verse 92 of Surah Hud says,"...But my Lord encompasses
everything that you do" meaning that Allah also pervades what people
do.
The truth revealed in the Qur'an is clear: Allah is not only in the
skies. Allah is He Who enfolds and pervades all places. This knowledge
is provided to us by way of the Qur'an. Describing the reality of the
secret behind matter will enable people to better understand these
verses. People who realize that matter is not an absolute entity will
realize with complete clarity that Allah is everywhere at any moment,
that He sees and hears them at all moments, that He witnesses all
things and is closer to them than their own jugular veins, and that He
hears the prayers of thosewho pray.
Some verses of the Qur'an on the subject
Both East and West belong to Allah, so wherever you turn, the Face of
Allah is there. Allah is All-Encompassing, All-Knowing. (Surat
al-Baqara, 115)
Allah, there is no god but Him, the Living, the Self-Sustaining. He is
not subject to drowsiness or sleep. Everything in the heavens and the
earth belongs to Him. Who can intercede with Him except by His
permission? He knows what is before them and what is behind them but
they cannot grasp any ofHis knowledge save what He wills. His
Footstool encompasses the heavens and the earth and their preservation
does not tire Him. He is the Most High, theMagnificent. (Surat
al-Baqara, 255)
When We said to you, 'Surely your Lord encompasses the people with His
knowledge.' We only appointed the vision We showed you and the
Accursed Tree in the Qur'an as a trial and temptation forthe people.
We frighten them, but it only increases them in their excessive
insolence. (Surat al-Isra', 60)
There is no one in the heavens and earth who will not come to the
All-Merciful as a slave. He has counted them and numbered them
precisely. (Surah Maryam, 93-94)
And other booty you do not yet have the power to take –Allah has
already encompassed it.Allah has power over all things. (Suratal-
Fath, 21)
While Allah is encircling them from behind. (Surat al-Buruj, 20)
We created man and We know what his own self whispers to him. We are
nearer to him than his jugular vein. (Surah Qaf, 16)
If something good happens to you, it galls them. If something bad
strikes you, they rejoice at it. But if you are steadfast and have
fear of Allah, their scheming will not harm you in any way. Allah
encompasses what they do. (Surah Al 'Imran, 120)
They try to conceal themselves from people, butthey cannot conceal
themselves from Allah. He is with them when they spendthe night saying
things which are not pleasing to Him. Allah encompasses everything
they do. (Surat an-Nisa', 108)
