As usual you keep exposing how stupid you are by copying and pasting answers from other sources. At least have the courtesy of putting it in your own words.
The Salafi professor Naseem Akram Jaja is not unknown, he is representing your Salafi sect in debates and is a graduate from your learning institutions, having the qualifications to be a scholar. Anyone who you don't agree with from your own sect you will say he is unknown, how lame is that?
His status is nothing in comparison to Salafi Imams I quoted. My answers are for readers, you don't need bother moron. And the Salafi stance was clarified in detail, in my response.
And the point you failed to respond to is that the belief that Jesus was raised up to Allah in his body necessitates that Allah's existence is corporal, limited, and confined to a direction. You say Jesus was raised to the sky, but the word "sky" is never used in reference to the Rafa (ascension) of Jesus. The Verses say Allah raised Jesus up to Himself. Therefore, whether you agree with Prof. Akram Jaja or not, he was forced to say this in order to justify his belief that Jesus was raised up in his corporal body.
This shows that you are in serious need of taking comprehension understanding classes. Your performance is terrible. The response I posted has the answer to this shubha you raised. And in regards to the question that where is Allah, then here you go.
Prophet Muhammad(saws) said:
أَلاَ تَأْمَنُونِي وَأَنَا أَمِينُ مَنْ فِي السَّمَاءِ يَأْتِينِي خَبَرُ السَّمَاءِ صَبَاحًا وَمَسَاءً
Do you not trust me whereas I am the trustworthy one of
He who is above the heaven? The khabar [from] the heaven comes to me morning and evening. [ Sahih al-Bukhari 4351 & Sahih Muslim 1064 b]
حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ دِينَارٍ، عَنْ أَبِي قَابُوسَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " الرَّاحِمُونَ يَرْحَمُهُمُ الرَّحْمَنُ ارْحَمُوا مَنْ فِي الأَرْضِ يَرْحَمْكُمْ مَنْ فِي السَّمَاءِ الرَّحِمُ شُجْنَةٌ مِنَ الرَّحْمَنِ فَمَنْ وَصَلَهَا وَصَلَهُ اللَّهُ وَمَنْ قَطَعَهَا قَطَعَهُ اللَّهُ " . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ
Abdullah bin 'Amr narrated that the Messenger of Allah said: "The merciful are shown mercy by Ar-Rahman. Be merciful on the earth, and you will be shown mercy from
Who is above the heavens. The womb is named after Ar-Rahman, so whoever connects it, Allah connects him, and whoever severs it, Allah severs him."[Jami` at-Tirmidhi 1924; Hasan Sahih]
Ja'far b Muhammad reported on the authority of his father:
They (the audience) said: We will bear witness that you have conveyed (the message), discharged (the ministry of Prophethood) and given wise (sincere) counsel. He (the narrator) said: He (the Holy Prophet)
then raised his forefinger towards the sky and pointing it at the people (said):" O Allah, be witness. 0 Allah, be witness," saying it thrice.(Sahih Muslim English reference: Book 7, Hadith 2803; Sahih Muslim Arabic reference: Book 16, Hadith 3009).
Comment:-Had Allaah (swt) been everywhere, the Prophet (peace be upon him) would not have particularly raised his finger towards the sky.And we Shorten the Hadeeth for the convinence of the readers.

Mu'awiya b. al-Hakam said: I had a maid-servant who tended goats by the side of Uhud and Jawwaniya. One day I happened to pass that way and found that a wolf had carried a goat from her flock. I am after all a man from the posterity of Adam. I felt sorry as they (human beings) feel sorry. So I slapped her. I came to the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) and felt (this act of mine) as something grievous I said: Messenger of Allah, should I not grant her freedom? He (the Holy Prophet) said: Bring her to me. So I brought her to him.
He said to her: Where is Allah? She said: He is in the heaven. He said: Who am I? She said: Thou art the Messenger of Allah. He said: Grant her freedom, she is a believing woman.[Sahih Muslim 537 a]
حَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ، عَنْ هِلاَلِ بْنِ أُسَامَةَ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ جَارِيَةً لِي كَانَتْ تَرْعَى غَنَمًا لِي فَجِئْتُهَا وَقَدْ فُقِدَتْ شَاةٌ مِنَ الْغَنَمِ فَسَأَلْتُهَا عَنْهَا فَقَالَتْ أَكَلَهَا الذِّئْبُ فَأَسِفْتُ عَلَيْهَا وَكُنْتُ مِنْ بَنِي آدَمَ فَلَطَمْتُ وَجْهَهَا وَعَلَىَّ رَقَبَةٌ أَفَأُعْتِقُهَا فَقَالَ لَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " أَيْنَ اللَّهُ " . فَقَالَتْ فِي السَّمَاءِ . فَقَالَ " مَنْ أَنَا " . فَقَالَتْ أَنْتَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ . فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " أَعْتِقْهَا " .
Malik related to me from Hilal ibn Usama from Ata ibn Yasar that Umar ibn al-Hakam said, "I went to the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and said, 'Messenger of Allah, a slave girl of mine was tending my sheep. I came to her and one of the sheep was lost. I asked her about it and she said that a wolf had eaten it, so I became angry and I am one of the children of Adam, so I struck her on the face. As it happens, I have to set a slave free, shall I free her?' The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, questioned her, '
Where is Allah?' She said, 'In heaven.' He said, 'Who am I?' She said, 'You are the Messenger of Allah.' The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, 'Free her.' " [Muwatta Malik , Book 38, Hadith 1473]
Imam al-Shafi`i, who said:
وهكذا سَنَّ رسولُ الله في كل من امتحنه للإيمان
And this is how the Prophet set the standard in everyone he tested for faith:
أخبرنا مالك عن هلال بن أسامة عن عطاء بن يسار عن عُمَر بن الحَكَم قال
Malik reported to us: from Hilah bin Usamah: from Ataa' bin Yasaar: from Umar bin 'l-Hakam who said...
أتَيْتُ رسولَ اللهِ بِجَارِيَةٍ، فَقُلْتُ: ياَ رَسُولَ اللهِ، عَلَيَّ رَقَبَةٌ، أَفَأَعْتِقُهَا؟
فَقَالَ لَهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ: أَيْنَ اللهُ؟ فَقَالَتْ: فِي السَّمَاءِ
فَقَالَ: وَمَنْ أَنَا؟ قَالَتْ: أَنْتَ رَسُولُ اللهِ
قَالَ: فَأَعْتِقْهَا

It is also in Kitab 'l-Aathaar, Riwaayat Muhammad bin 'l-Hasan `An Abi Hanifah (narrating from `Ataa from Abdallah Ibn Rawaahah, pg. 398-9, vol 1, Darussalam edition, Tahqeeq by al-Ma`saraawi in Azhar University) which has the words أين الله in it as well.
I CAN GO ON AND ON WITH MUTAWATTIR AHADEETH WHICH SHOWS ALLAH IS ABOVE THE HEAVEN. FOR BENEFIT OF READERS: I suggest them to refer this link for more proofs:
http://www.systemoflife.com/articles/aqeedah/2000007-where-is-allah#axzz4mx2jnpMBIf Jesus was raised up to Allah physically, then it means Allah was not where Jesus was before Jesus was raised? But the Holy Qur'an says:[/size][/font]
وَهُوَ مَعَكُمْ أَيْنَ مَا كُنتُمْ[
And He (Allah) is with you wherever you are (Sura 57:4)
So if Jesus was raised up physically to Allah, it means Allah was not where Jesus was (presumably somewhere in Jerusalem) before he ascended. What is your answer to this point? Please don't copy and paste anymore irrelevant stuff either.
The verse you used is in regards to knowledge of Allah, Allah is with us, with his Knowledge. The verse before this one states:
He is the First and the Last, the Ascendant and the Intimate, and
He is, of all things, Knowing.(57:3).
Muhammad bin Abdullaah bin al-Hajjaaj informed us, saying: Ahmad bin al-Husayn informed us, saying: Abdullaah bin Ahmad narrated to us, saying: My father said: Surayj bin an-Nu'maan said: Abdullaah bin Naafi' narrated to me:

He said: Wherever you may be, He is closer to you than your jugular vein,

They mentioned that the Jahmiyyah say: "There is no veil between Allaah and His creation", and they rejected the Throne, and that Allaah is above it. They said, "He is in every place". So the Scholars explained (the verse), "He is with you..." to mean "His knowledge [is with you]". Then the reports that Allaah created the Throne and rose over it were transmitted through tawaatur [large-scale transmission].
So He is above the Throne, free [of being merged] with any of His creation, separate and distinct (baa'in) from them. ["Mukhtasar al-Uluww" of adh-Dhahabi (p. 220) ]

Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal stated:
إذا أردت أن تعلم أن الجهمي كاذب على الله حين زعم أن الله في كل مكان ولا يكون في مكان دون مكان فقل أليس الله كان ولا شيء فيقول نعم فقل له حين خلق الشيء خلقه في نفسه أو خارجا من نفسه فإنه يصير إلى ثلاثة أقوال لا بد له من واحد منها إن زعم أن الله خلق الخلق في نفسه كفر حين زعم أن الجن والإنس والشياطين في نفسه
وإن قال خلقهم خارجا من نفسه ثم دخل فيهم كان هذا كفرا أيضا حين زعم أنه دخل في مكان وحش قذر رديء
وإن قال خلقهم خارجا من نفسه ثم لم يدخل فيهم رجع عن قوله أجمع وهو قول أهل السنة
If you wanted to know that the Jahmi is lying upon Allah when he claims that, "Allah is in everyplace and He is not in some place rather than another." Then say, "Didn't Allah exist when there was nothing?" He will say, "Yes." So say to him, "When He created something, did He create it in Himself or outside of His self?" He will lean towards three statements of which he must say one of them. If he says He created them within Himself, then he has committed kufr when he claims that the Jinn and the Humans and the Devils are inside of Him. If he says He created them outside of Himself then he entered into them, then this is kufr as well since he claims that He went into a place....If he says He created them outside of Himself and He doesn't go into it, then he has gone back on his statement completely and this is the statement of Ahl as-Sunnah. ["Ar-Radd `Ala az-Zanaadiqah wa al-Jahmiyyah", page 155-156].
