In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Peace be upon you,

Among God's many beautiful attributes is that He is Omnipresent. What does it mean when God says He is Omnipresent (Quran 2:115)? It occurs only this one time while Omniscient and Omnipotent occur over 80 and 40 times respectively. But this is powerful in its uniqueness. In order to really appreciate God, we have to grasp this concept that He can be with everyone, everywhere. He is with us here 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's with you as you read this. How is that even possible? It is mind-blowing. But that is God. That is who God is. And we need to remember that, appreciate that and understand it.


[Quran 7:180] To GOD belongs the most beautiful names; call upon Him therewith, and disregard those who distort His names. They will be requited for their sins.

[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.


Wherever you go, whatever you do, God is there. So we want to always do the right thing, the righteous thing, knowing that we are always accountable to God.
