Beliefs of all Muslims: God Exists Without a Place
Allah is not a body. He does not occupy the places nor the spaces. He Exists, and is not contained in a place nor in the six directions. Whatever you imagine in your mind, Allah is other than that.

The great true Salafi, Imam Ja^far as-Sadiq said: "He who claims that Allah is in something or on something or from something, commits ash-shirk. Because if He was in something, He would be contained, and if He was on something, He would be carried, and if He was from something, He would be a creature."

Shaykh ^Abdul-Ghaniyy an-Nabulsiyy said: "He who believes that Allah fills the heavens and earth or that He is a body sitting above al-^arsh (ceiling of Paradise; throne) is a kafir."

Imam Abul-Qasim ^Aliyy Ibnul-Hasan Ibn Hibatillah Ibn ^Asakir said in his ^Aqidah: "Allah existed before the creation. He does not have a before or an after, an above or a below, a right or a left, an in front of or a behind, a whole or a part. It must not be said when was He, where was He, or how was He. He exists without a place."

Imam Abu Sulayman al-Khattabiyy said: "What is obligatory upon us and upon every Muslim to know is that our Lord has no shape or form, because the shape has a 'how' and 'how' does not apply to Allah or His Attributes."

Know beyond doubt that the question 'how' does not apply to Allah, because this is a question about shapes, bodies, places, depths and dimensions; Allah is clear of all of that. Also be firm that it is invalid to say about Allah "... but we do not know how", because in essence, it falsely indicates that Allah has a color, shape, dimensions, body, place, but one is ignorant of the 'how' of it.

Imam al-Ghazaliyy said: " Allah, the Exalted, existed eternally and there was no place. He is not a body, jawhar (atom), or property, and He is not on a place or in a place."

All of these sayings show that attributing the sensuous physical aboveness and place to Allah is contrary to the Qur'an, the Hadith, the Ijma^, and the intellectual proof. The intellectual proof that Allah exists without a place lies in the fact that the one who is in a place would have an area, and the one who has an area is in need of it, and the one who needs others is not God. Moreover, as the mind determines that Allah existed without a place before creating places, the mind determines that after Allah created the places He still exists without a place.

See:
"Understanding the Glorious Qur'an
The Muhkamat ayat and Mutashabihat ayat
The Muhkam Ayah: A verse that has one clear meaning. Like {Laysa Kamithlihi Shay'}
The Mutashabih Ayah: A verse that can have many meanings. Like: {Allahu Nurus-Samawati wal-'Ard}"

  • Allah does not divide into parts; no creation, including man, has "a part of Allah" in him, nor can any creation become like Allah. He is the only God.Allah existed eternally before He created any place, such as Paradise (Heaven), the skies, earth, or any planets. Hence, we know He is now as He was before He created all these places; He does not need any place to exist in.Allah has always known about every bit of His creation; there is no thing in His creation which escapes or defeats Him.

  • Allah speaks and His Speech is not made up of language or sound, nor does it resemble the speech of man in any way. He does not need any of His creation for His existence and He does not resemble any of His creation in any way. This means that Allah is not a man or a woman; He is not "a Father" or "a Mother". He does not have a wife, a mother, a father, a son, or a daughter; He has no equal or partner.

  • Allah is the Creator of everything.

    Everything that exists, except Allah, the Creator, is created by Him. Allah has full power over every bit of His creation. Allah is not created; He existed always, having His attributes; He will never perish, nor will His attributes diminish. Among His attributes is that He has knowledge of all His creation, that He sees the seeable and that He hears the hearable, and His knowing, seeing and hearing are in no way similar to ours.

  • Water is the First Creation

    Allah created the heavens, the earths, and the mountains.

    Allah created the rivers and the seas.

    Allah created the sun, the moon, the stars, and the planets.

    Allah created the shrubs, the trees, the humans, and the animals.

    The first thing Allah created was water. It is above the heavens. Then Allah created the Grand ^Arsh.

    The ^Arsh is a platform with pillars. It is the largest of the bodies that Allah created, and it is the ceiling of Paradise.

  • we believe that God (Allah) is the creator.

  • Darwin had a theory. What's a theory?? it's not a fact right? so how could you build on it !! Just because an ape's skull resembles to a human's skull does not make your grandfather a monkey!

  • If you want to listen and learn, I will help you. Can there be a building without a builder?

    How does the seed turn into a large tree?

    How do you come from seemen and turn into inteligent human? God is the creator who manages all the creations. That God is most powerufl and most supreme..

  • Bewarned from Wahhabis.

    Islam is against terrorism and extremism.

  • So we have to know that the confrontation must come through exposing them and removing the masks they hide behind, and by facing them with proofs that demonstrate the disintegration of their logic and the vileness of their practices based on their devilish ideas.

  • However, extremism has been exaggerated by the media. We do not say that there are no extremist but we ask where these extremist came from? And what are their hidden agendas.

    Many people would ask the ways and methods to remedy the societies from extremism that tarnishes the image of Islam and spreads terror and violence in our countries. The answer is that we have to realize that extremists hide under the slogans of Islam in deceit and propagate ideas that have no relation whatsoever to Islam.
