Allah is not everywhere! Allah is above His seven heavens, above His 'Arsh (Throne), and separated from His creatures, and His creatures are separated from Him. We believe in and confirm all of the attributes of Allah without distorting their meaning.
If Allah is everywhere why then the Qur'anic verses does not read, 'Declare your Rubb, (around you), (below you), or (everywhere)?'
Rather:
Allah says:
"They fear their Rubb above them." [Qur'an 16:50]
This verse refers to the angels who are above us, and above them is our Rubb, the Blessed, the Exalted.
Lest anyone be confused, Allah confirms in this verse that He is above the angels who are the residents of the heavens:
"The Compassionate has rose over the 'Arsh."; [Qur'an 20:2]
And: "And verily, your Rubb is Allah who created the heaven and earth
in six days, and then rose over the 'Arsh."; [Qur'an 7:54]
Allah also says:
"Are you sure that He Who is Above the heaven will not cleave the
earth beneath you? Or are you sure that He Who is above the heaven
will not send against you a stone-charged hurricane."; [Qur'an
67:17,18 ]
We raise our hands to sky knowing Allah is above the Heavens.
