The Islamic vision of the presence of God everywhere
Islam believes that God's existence is not limited by space and time. This is because God is not a body. He is not an accident limited by time. He does not occupy space or place and is not united with others.
God says:
He who created the heavens and the earth in six days, then willed to the Throne. He knows what penetrates the earth and all that emerges from it; all that descends from heaven and all that ascends to it. He is with you wherever you are. God is All-Seeing of what you do.’’
‘’Have you not seen that God knows what is in the heavens and what is on the earth? There is no secret talk between three but He is the fourth of them; nor between five but He is the sixth of them; nor between fewer or more but He is with them wherever they are. Then, on the Day of Resurrection, He will inform them of what they have done. Surely, Allah [God] has knowledge of all things.’’
This means that God is present everywhere and with every human being, but not in the sense of occupying space, rather what is meant is the universal encompassing.
It is clear that the human being does not reach the essence of this encompassing and this omnipotence, as the verse indicates the scientific awareness and the existential awareness, God Almighty is present, Hearing, All-Knowing.
