Without any doubt it is confirmed that Allah is above his throne. But some people now raise this question and this can bring doubt in other peoples mind.. They say if Allah is above his throne does this mean the higher you go the closer you come to Allah. So if you r in higher building your much closer to Allah than someone on the lower building.
