Likewise, one says to anyone who asserts, “Allah is in a direction”: Do you mean that Allah is above the created realm, or do you mean that He is inside one of the creatures? If you intend the first, it is correct; if you intend the second, it is false.

[The term “mutahayyiz”]
The same clarification applies to the word mutahayyiz (“occupying spatial extension”). If by it one imagines that created things contain Allah, then Allah is far greater and more exalted than that—for His Footstool encompasses the heavens and the earth. The Exalted has said: “They did not esteem Allah as He deserves; on the Day of Resurrection the whole earth will be in His grasp, and the heavens will be rolled up in His right hand” (39:67). Moreover, it is established in the sound collections that the Prophet ﷺ said: “Allah will grasp the earth and roll up the heavens in His right hand, then He will proclaim, ‘I am the King; where are the kings of the earth?’”
