Since, I, like the rest of Adam's descendants, am prone to do regrettable acts, I gave her a terrible slap in her face. When I came to Allah 's Messenger (peace be upon him) with the story, he considered it a grave thing for me to have done. I said: 'O Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) couldn't I free her? He (peace be upon him) replied: "Bring her to me." So I brought her. He (peace be upon him) then asked her, "Where is Allah?" And she replied: "Above the sky." Then He (peace be upon him) asked her: "Who am I?" She replied "You are Allah's Messenger". So he (peace be upon him) said: "Free her; for she is a believer. "

SOME QURAAN REFFERENCES
[020:005] The Most Gracious (Allâh) rose over (Istawâ) the (Mighty) Throne (in a manner that suits His Majesty).
[002.029] He it is Who created for you all that is on earth. Then He rose over (Istawâ) towards the heaven and made them seven heavens and He is the All-Knower of everything.
[007:054] Indeed, your Lord is Allâh, Who created the heavens and the earth in Six Days, and then He rose over (Istawâ) the Throne (really in a manner that suits His Majesty). He brings the night as a cover over the day, seeking it rapidly, and (He created) the sun, the moon, the stars subjected to His Command. Surely, His is the creation and commandment. Blessed is Allâh, the Lord of the 'آlamîn (mankind, jinn and all that exists)!
[010:003] Surely, your Lord is Allâh Who created the heavens and the earth in six Days and then rose over (Istawâ) the Throne (really in a manner that suits His Majesty), disposing the affair of all things. No intercessor (can plead with Him) except after His Leave. That is Allâh, your Lord; so worship Him (Alone). Then, will you not remember?
[013:002] Allâh is He Who raised the heavens without any pillars that you can see. Then, He rose above (Istawâ) the Throne (really in a manner that suits His Majesty). He has subjected the sun and the moon (to continue going round), each running (its course) for a term appointed. He manages and regulates all affairs; He explains the Ayât (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) in detail, that you may believe with certainty in the Meeting with your Lord.
[025:059] Who created the heavens and the earth and all that is between them in six Days. Then He rose over (Istawâ) the Throne (in a manner that suits His Majesty). The Most Gracious (Allâh)! Ask Him (O Prophet Muhammad [sal-Allâhu 'alayhi wa sallam], concerning His Qualities: His rising over His Throne, His creations), as He is Khabîr (Well-Acquainted with everything, i.e. Allâh).
[032:004] Allâh it is He Who has created the heavens and the earth, and all that is between them in six Days. Then He rose over (Istawâ) the Throne (in a manner that suits His Majesty). You (mankind) have none, besides Him, as a Walî (protector or helper) or an intercessor. Will you not then remember (or receive admonition)?
[041:011] Then He rose over (Istawâ) towards the heaven when it was smoke, and said to it and to the earth: "Come both of you willingly or unwillingly." They both said: "We come willingly."
[057:004] He it is Who created the heavens and the earth in six Days and then rose over (Istawâ) the Throne (in a manner that suits His Majesty). He knows what goes into the earth and what comes forth from it, and what descends from the heaven and what ascends thereto. And He is with you (by His Knowledge) wheresoever you may be. And Allâh is All-Seer of what you do.
NOTE : THERE IS A GREAT FALSE IN THE BASIC ISLAMIC INFO TAUGHT TO US BY TEXT BOOK.. AS PER ABOVE AYAH YOU CAN SEE.. ALLAH IS ON ARSH E AZEEM ON PHYSICAL BASES.. BUT YES HE IS EVERYWHERE FROM HIS KNOWLEDGE BASIS... BUT MOST OF US SAY WHEN SOMEONE ASKS THEM THAT WHERE IS ALLAH THERE REPLY IS ALLAH IS EVERYWHERE WITHOUT ANY PROPER READING OR KNOWLEDGE..
MAY ALLAH GUIDE US ON RIGHT PATH... AMEEN...
