Astgafurallah if you ask a random Muslim Somali or not and ask them where's Allah? they will answer up in the heaven and point out the evidence in the Quranic verses like:
They fear their Lord above them, and they do whatever they are commanded.

Do you feel secure that He Who is in heaven will not cause the earth to collapse beneath you while it spins?
Surah al-Mulk 16
I have provided the saying of our main salaf scholars the 3 imam on this issue and they didn't believe what you believe and here's hadith about our prophet ุตูุงุฉ ุงููู ุนููู ูุณูู

Hadeeth (report) concerning the young slave girl, to whom the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Where is Allah?" She said: "In heaven." He asked, "Who am I?" She said, "The Messenger of Allah." So he said to her master: "Set her free, for she is a believer."
You tried to say Somalis were literalist when they are not. I specified exactly what I was referring to as in where is Allah & allahs attributes. You are confusing yourself & conflating 2 different things. Now youโre saying Allah is in the heavens, salafis do not believe that. So which one is it? What is ur argument here? Read Surah taha and brush up on your ibn tammiyyah bc you seem to not know the stance of where is Allah when it comes to your own scholars.
Do you feel secure that He, Who is over the heaven (Allรขh), will not cause the earth to sink with you, and then it should quake? Or do you feel secure that He, Who is over the heaven (Allรขh), will not send against you a violent whirlwind? Then you shall know how (terrible) has been My Warning>> (Surah Al-Mulk 67:16-17)
The Most Gracious (Allรขh) rose over (Istawรข) the (Mighty) Throne (in a manner that suits His Majesty) (Surah Taha 25:10)
Iโm reference to ur quote about the Slavs girl. โSheikh-ul-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah said that this does not mean in any way that Allah is in the midst of, or surrounded by the heavens, as none of the Salaf (righteous predecessors) of this Ummah or its Imams ever stated that; rather they agreed that allah is established on His Throne above the heavens and is distinguished from His creation with no similarity whatsoever between Him and His creation in terms of His Attributes, Names, or Powerโ.
Then he quoted the saying of Al-Imam Malik that Allah is above the heavens and His knowledge encompasses everywhere and every thing, until he (Malik) said whoever believes that Allah is in the mist of, or surrounded by the heavens and that He needs His Throne or any of His creation, or that His rising above the Throne is similar to that of any of His servants sitting on a chair, then he is astray, Mubtadi` (one who introduces innovations in religion) and Islamically ignorant.
^ this is what Somalis in Somalia are taught that is the similarity with salafis (Although some salafis will argue that Allah is on a throne & is not everywhere) however allahs attributes of having limbs is not something majority of the Muslim world nor Somalis co-sign and that is a fact it has nothing to do with me as an individual. Somalis historically being salafis is also comedic considering the percentage of zaar rituals that take place there but I digress
