A very simple question, one every Muslim should know.
Where is Allah?
NO - He is not here, there and everywhere.
NO - He is not within His creation
NO - He is not in the sky or the heavens.
Where is Allah?
ANSWER:
Mankind and jinn are the inhabitants of the Earth.
The Angels are the inhabitants of the Heavens.
Allah's Kursi (literally : Footstool) extends over the heavens and the earth.
*The comparison in size is like a ring thrown into a vast desert (the ring is the heavens and the earth and the Kursi is the desert)
Imagine! Aayat al-Kursi is the greatest Aayah in the Qur'an as it is the most emphatic description of Allah's Power over His creation.
If the Kursi extends over the entire universe, how much greater is the Arsh?
Allah's Arsh (Throne) is over His Kursi.
*The comparison in size is that of the desert with respect to the ring again (the Kursi is the ring and the desert is the Arsh)
Allah is above His Arsh, in a manner befitting His Majesty.
The Most Gracious (Allah) rose over (Istawa) the (Mighty) Throne (in a manner that suits His Majesty). [Surah Ta-Ha : 5]
Outside this universe, independent from His creation.
We don't ask How
