As-Salaam alaikum,
In Sunan Tirmidhi is the Noble Hadith where the Messenger of Allah, Sallallahu alaihi Wasallam, is asked: 'Where was Allah before the creation of the Universe?' He replied: 'He was in the 'Ama. It goes on to say that it had no aboveness or belowness. In otherwords it was a premordial non-spatiality in non-time.
Sayyadina Ali Ibn Abi Talib, may Allah be pleased with him, was asked the same question and after a long silence he said: 'To ask where was Allah is to ask of a place. Now Allah was- but there was no space. Then He created time and space and He is now as He was before time/space.'
