Shadee Elmasry – Can God Have a Location

The next question is, Does Allah have a location? All right?

Whereas Allah azza wa jal does, you have physical characteristics.

And again, we go back to the same idea that what is a location a

location is a creation, right? It's a thing.

Well, we have a Hadith from the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa

sallam, there was ALLAH and there was no thing with him. Right? So

if a location is a thing, okay? And we're told that there was

ALLAH and there was no thing with him, Therefore Allah azza wa jal

cannot have a location, he has no location. A location requires a

physicality. Now what does have a location, the direction of our

being up does not imply that the essence of ALLAH is up, okay? It's

up in the linguistic element of being superior being above us

being more worthy. Okay? It being more majestic in that element, as

smooth as smooth, like the summit, the sky, the word smooth also

means lofty in meaning. So when we hear that Allah in the summit,

right, it is lofty in meaning, not in location, because if you say

he's in location in the sky, you are therefore allowing Allah to be

inside of his creation, and his creations is all full of

accidentals and full of

requirements needs and weaknesses. Okay, and therefore you're saying

that he relies upon a weakness he relies upon creation. So we cannot

say that Allah azza wa jal has a space

nor does he have physical characteristics, okay? Everything

physical in the universe must be brought into existence and is

susceptible to change and exiting existence, right? And therefore,

Allah azza wa jal is free of this physicality and cannot have this

physicality
