Answer

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful  

Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatoh

Allah is above time and place. He is not confined to any time or any place.

However, when one refers to Allah as being above, it is an expression of respect. Such a statement does not take a person out of the fold of Islam.

And Allah knows best
