Is it correct to say that Allah is in the sky, but in every place in the sky?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Shaykh, if someone says that Allah (Mighty and Majestic) is ... He is in the sky, but in every place in the sky.
The Shaykh : No, in fact, He is not in the sky, in these seven heavens, absolutely not. He is above them. That is why we told you a moment ago that "in the sky" means
The student: Above the sky.
The Shaykh : Above the sky, or in the heavens, the elevation, the elevation that is not the celestial bodies. And it is known that it is not permissible for us to believe that the sky surrounds Allah. Rather, He is above the Throne. It is not permissible for us to believe that He is in need of the Throne, such that if the Throne were to disappear, He would fall, just as if the Footstool were to disappear from under a person, he would fall. Yes.
