Allah said in Surat Al-'Imran, ayah 7 means: "Allah is the One Who has sent down to the Prophet the Book that contains muhkamat ayat (Ayat which have only 1 clear meaning), which are the foundation of the Book, and other ayat which are mutashabihat (Ayat which can have many meanings)".
This Ayah proves that the Quran cannot be translated word for word and taken in its literal apparent meaning.
There are people who claim Allah is in the sky or in the heavens or on the Arsh, this is not the belief of Muslims.
Allah is above everything in STATUS not in a direction or a place. Allah created everything and does not need any of His creations.
The Prophet said as narrated by Imam Al-Bukhariyy & Al-Bayhaqiyy "Allah existed eternally and there was nothing else" This hadith proves that Allah was alone in al-'azal, (the status of existence without a beginning,) There was nothing with Him: no place, no space, no sky, no light, and no darkness.
It is determined in the rules of the Religion and the judgments of the sound mind that Allah, the Exalted, does not change. It is impossible that after having been existing without a place, He would become in a place, because this is a development, and the development is a sign of needing others, and the one who needs others is not God.
EXPLANATION.....
All muslims believe that Allah does not have a begining. And all muslims believe that Allah created everything. So, Allah existed before creating the Sky, Arsh, Paradise, Darkness, Light, Time, Place ect. His existence was without a place. To say that after creating the Sky, Arsh ect he then became in a place. What your saying is that the existence of Allah without a place ended, and His existence in a place began. These 2 attributes of begining and ending are attributes of the creation and do not imply to the Creator Allah.
You are also be saying that Allah changed from one state to another, and this is kuffar. Allah does not change and His Attributes dont change.
FOR EXAMPLE.....
Allah is Attributed with Existence, His Existence is without a begining and without an end. There is no doubt in the Existence of Allah and His Existence does not change.
Allah is Attributed with Knowledge. Nothing is absent from His Knowledge. His Knowledge does not increase or decrease. His Knowledge does not change.
Allah is Attributed with Power. Allah has the Power over each and every creation. His Power does not change.
The correct belief in Allah is.
ALLAH EXISTS WITHOUT A PLACE.
Imam Abu Mansur al-Baghdadiyy related in his book, Al-Farqu Bayn al¬Firaq, that Imam 'Ali the fourth of the caliphs, may Allah reward his deeds, said: "Allah existed eternally and there was no place, and He now is as He was, i.e., without a place."
He also relates that Imam Ali said "Allah created al-'arsh as an indication of His Power and did not take it as a place for Himself."
Imam al-Bayhaqiyy in his book Al-Asma' was-Sifat, page 488 said: "Allah, ta'ala, is not in a place. Movement, coming to rest, and sitting are among the attributes of bodies."
Also in 'al-Asma' was-Sifat' by al-Bayhaqiyy In the second volume on page 144, Imam al-Bayhaqiyy said: "Some of our companions used as a proof to refute the place to Allah the saying of the Prophet, sallallahu ^alayhi wa sallam: "O Allah You are adh-Dhahir and there is nothing above You, and You are al-Batin and there is nothing underneath You.' Therefore, if there is nothing above Him and nothing underneath Him, He is not in a place."
Imam Abu Hanifah said in his book, al¬Wasiyyah,: "He is the Preserver of al¬'arsh and other than al-'arsh, without needing it, for had He been in need, He would not have the power to create the world and to manage and preserve it. Moreover, had He been in a place needing to sit and rest¬¬ before creating al-'arsh, where was Allah?" That is, the question 'where was Allah' would have applied to Him, which is impossible.
Also, in his book, Al-Fiqh al-Absat, Imam Abu Hanifah said: "Allah existed eternally and there was no place; He existed before creating the creation. He existed and there was not a place, a creation or a thing; and He is the Creator of everything. He who says 'I do not know if my Lord is in the heavens or on the earth,' is a kafir. Also is a kafir whoever says that 'He is on al-'arsh, and I do not know whether al-'arsh is in the heaven or on the earth'."
Abu Ja'far at¬Tahawiyy in his book a called Al-'Aqidah at¬Tahawiyyah said "Allah is supremely clear of all boundaries, extremes, sides, organs and instruments. The six directions DO NOT contain Him, these are attributed to all created things."
The correct belief in Allah is:
ALLAH EXISTS WITHOUT A PLACE.
