I say, and with God's success: It means that God is present everywhere with His knowledge, mercy, and power; because place is created, and the Creator cannot dwell in the created. God was, and nothing else existed, and the Throne is also created, and God is self-sufficient and does not need it. His superiority over the Throne is not real; rather, His place is no place, and the 'Istawa' (rising) means control, meaning: everything is under His authority and judgment. And God knows best.
