However, Allah is everywhere and encompasses all places. This truth is
also explained in the Qur’an:

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)

As the sole absolute being, Allah enfolds the whole universe, all people
and places, the heavens and everywhere. He is manifested in the whole
universe. According to the hadith, our Prophet (saas) said that someone who
said that Allah was in the sky was telling the truth. But this account in no
way conflicts with the fact that Allah is everywhere. That is 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 points in 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. Wherever you turn, the manifestation of
Allah is there.

Since Allah is everywhere, He is closer to us than anything else. This fact
eliminates the perception of "distance," by which most people are again
deceived. Generally, people refer to entities they see close to themselves as
being "nearby." Asked, "What’s the nearest object you see?" they reply,
"My clothes," "My watch," "My glasses," or else, "My own body." The fact
is, Allah is closer than any of these things. This is revealed thus in one verse
of the Qur’an:
