Re: Salafi asks: Where is Allah? How do you answer?
Dear brother, if someone walks on the earth, is he above the earth or below it? If a man is in India, do we say that he is above the earth or below it? Surely we say that he is above/on the earth, i.e. the earth is below him. And a man who walks on the earth in America...is he above/on the earth, or is he below it? Surely he too is above the earth! So we see that no matter where anyone is on the earth, he is above it. And likewise the heavens--no matter where one is on earth--is above the earth.
But I do understand what you are trying to say about a space station...but this is delving into the matter more than is necessary...we only insist upon the 'where-ness' of Allah because the Prophet (s) specifically mentioned it...we don't go beyond this...having said that, I have heard that Allah encompasses the creation. Maybe another Salafi brother can answer your question insha-Allah.
