Or how can I describe Him by a 'where' [ayn] when He is the One who localized the 'where' until it became a 'where', so that 'where' became known through the 'where' He localized for us? Or how can I describe Him by a 'space' [hayth] when He is the One who spatialized the 'space' until it became a 'space', so that 'space' became known through the 'space' He spatialized for us? Thus, Allah is internal within every place, yet external to everything."
