Allah is above the heavens, above His Throne, distinct and separate from His creation. This belief is supported by authentic evidence from the Qur’ān and sunnah, from them is a narration where the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) asked a servant girl, “Where is Allah?” She replied, “Above the heavens.” The Prophet then affirmed her faith by saying to Muawiyyah bin Hakam, “Free her, for indeed she is a believer.” [Sahih Muslim, Hadith no. 537]
