Question<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Is it true that Allah swt is omnipresent or everywhere?<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Answer<\/strong>:<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Allah the deity is a God, that is not easily comprehendible, the discourse and discussion has long been withstanding throughout Islamic history, through the many theologians and philosophers of Islam and beyond.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

To try and comprehend a tiny portion of the knowledge of the Almighty is reflected in the verse of Surah Nur:35 \u201c All\u0101h is the Light\u00a0of the heavens and the earth. The example of His light is like a niche within which is a lamp;\u00a0the lamp is within glass, the glass as if it were a pearly [white] star lit from [the oil of] a blessed olive tree, neither of the east nor of the west, whose oil would almost glow even if untouched by fire. Light upon light. All\u0101h guides to His light whom He wills. And All\u0101h presents examples for the people, and All\u0101h is Knowing of all things.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Allah is the light that we need when we feel lost, Allah is present when we feel that there is no one, Allah knows what man needs.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This indicates that Allah is transcendent- outside of and beyond time \u201c\u201cSurely Allah is independent of all the worlds.\u201d (Surah Ankabut:6)<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The fact that Allah encompasses everything, gives Allah the power to be everywhere and with you everywhere \u201c \u201cHe is with you wherever you are\u2026\u201d (Surah Al Hadid: 4)<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Al-Shaarawy says on p. 294 of his flood: God is present in both places (meaning heaven and earth) and in every place and time.1<\/sup><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

So yes, Allah is Omnipresent. Allah has confirmed this by adding in Surah Qaf:16 \u201c We are closer to him than his own jugular vein.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Allah\u2019s greatness goes beyond being everywhere in the world, but Allah is with mankind, i.e with humans everywhere spiritually.<\/span><\/p>\n
