How did you go from what he said to the above comment?
Honestly, I've never understood the idea of Allah (swt) occupying a specific physicality, as Allah (swt) is not, to my understanding, anything we can comprehend as a physical being.
To me, everything in the first posts points to Allah (swt) being far above any human concept, yet still existing. The sky is vast, pointing to the heavens would seem to me to be an indication that Allah (swt) existance is as vast as the sky. The common Christian and Jewish belief at the time was that God was to be found in Churches, so one has to pray in churches (this is especially true of Jews who speak in the old testament of God visiting their temple in Jerusalem), Islam erased that idea. Allah (swt) is not found only in the Masjid, and since Prophet Muhammad (saw) prayed in places other than the Masjid, including the great outdoors, I think his example shows the non-locality of Allah (swt) compared to the Christian and Jewish concepts of the time.
