((ينزل ربنا تبارك وتعالى إلى السماء الدنيا كل ليلة حين يبقى ثلث الليل الآخر فيقول: من يدعوني فأستجيب له، من يسألني فأعطيه، من يستغفرني فأغفر له، حتى ينفجر الفجر))

 

صحيح البخاري 1145

Sahih al-Bukhari 1145

Which means "God goes to lower sky everyday in the last third of the night and asks (who is praying and I will accept.....etc).

Now, if God goes to lower sky every day at the last third of the night and the last third of the night is actually different depending on the place and timezone so there is a last third of the night somewhere in earth at any given time!!? So does God keeps going to lower sky all day long??

Some said Going to lower sky (Nuzool) is not meant literally.. well Arabic is a very rich language and Mohammed (pbuh) could have chosen another word if he meant something else but he chose the word Yanzel ( ينزل ) which means "go down".

Does God literally goes to the lower sky? or does going to lower sky means something else other than the literal going down?? if that's the case then why Mohammed (pbuh) chose the word Yanzel?

EDIT : I would like the answer from Sunni point of view.
