In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Peace be upon you,

[Quran 2:115] To GOD belongs the east and the west; wherever you go there will be the presence of GOD. GOD is Omnipresent, Omniscient.

[Quran 57:4] ... He is with you wherever you may be. GOD is Seer of everything you do.

What does it mean when God says He is Omnipresent (2:115)? It occurs only this one time in the Quran, while Omniscient occurs 88 times. But this is powerful in its uniqueness.

In order to really appreciate God, we have to grasp this concept that He is with all of us at once. God is here with me in this room, He's with friends in California, He's in India. He's with people we will never know in China and Egypt and Norway right now, right this minute, even as He is with you as you read this (Quran 57:4).

How is that even possible? It's mind-blowing. But that's part of the greatness of God. That's who God is. And we need to remember that, appreciate that and understand it.
