It is the belief of ahl as-Sunnah wal-Jama'a to which the Ahnaf and all the rightly guided Muslims belong that Allah سبحانه و تعالي is in fact above the skies and not everywhere. However, in what manner Allah Ta'ala is present there is unknown.

It is not the premise of the lay man or woman to indulge in matters regarding the nature of Allah سبحانه و تعالي and engage in discussions and debates. Such matters should be left to specialist qualified ulamaa.
