The question

Is the saying, "Indeed, Allah is not confined by time or place," correct, and what is the meaning of Allah not being confined by place, and how can this be reconciled with Allah being in the heavens, above all things, and having ascended above His Throne?

The answer

Allah Almighty is not confined by time or place. He is the First and the Last, and no place encompasses Him; rather, He is greater, mightier, and higher than everything. This does not contradict His being above and exalted over His Throne. His being "in the heaven" means that He is in absolute transcendence, not that the heaven contains Him.
