Dear Brothers and Sisters;
Please again careful here.
The wording is very tricky, because we are trying to describe almighty Allah.
When He told us that we cannot imagine the Paradise that he prepared for the Muslims he used that no eye ever saw and no ear ever heard and no imagination can ever reach the true Paradise. So we stopped there because it showed our limitations. Now we are talking about a creation of Allah, so how can we talk about Him.
We know he created the place so he existed before the place.
Allah does not change, because the one who changes means he was not perfect then he became better, or he was better and became less. Allah is perfect and this does not change, so he does not change.
We do not say he is everywhere, imagine someone told you to have your office in the washroom, you will not accept because it is not the place to be.... Allah is not there.
The being who exists in a place needs the place, Allah does not need any of his creation.
Therefore, Allah exists without a place.
Hard to imagine, then try to imagine that there was a time when there was nothing but Allah..
No light no dark, no place no space, no time no sun no earth......
But the story was: He told them to go and kill the animal where No one can see you.... But Allah see all that we do and knows about it.
The knowledge of Islam is the best knowledge we can acquire. If we don't we will regret it.
Salam
