Qur'an 2:115
And to Allah belongs the east and the west. So wherever you [might] turn, there is the Face of Allah . Indeed, Allah is all-Encompassing and Knowing.

You're welcome

This verse appears to mean Allah is all knowing -- knows everything -- can your Allah be present in the heavens and at the same time be present every where on earth -- in Japan, in Egypt, the Canada, etc.?

Ok, God the Father is a spirit, Jesus pbuh the son is the word made flesh, so what is the Holy Spirit?

The Spirit of God is God and He is a person:

The Holy Spirit is the third person in the Trinity. He is fully God. He is eternal, omniscient, omnipresent, has a will, a mind, a distinct self, and can speak. He is alive. He is a person. He is not particularly visible in the Bible because His ministry is to bear witness of Jesus (John 5:26).

No eye can see Allah swt. However if I'm in Japan, Egypt or Canada and pray to Allah swt, then being All knowing, He hears my prayer. He tells us:

And We have already created man and know what his soul whispers to him, and We are closer to him than [his] jugular vein. Qur'an 50:16

Physically He is above His creation, above the 7 Heavens on His Throne.

Qur'an 50:16 speaks of all-knowing, not omnipresence.

What do you make of the following?

https://www.quora.com/Is-Allah-omnipresent

Is Allah omnipresent?

Allah as mentioned in the Quran and repeatedly narrated from the Messenger (pbuh), also unanimously accepted by the Predecessors of this community "Ummah", namely that "Allah is above His heavens on His throne of over His creatures, so not omnipresent."

[[[( 255 ) Allah - there is no deity except Him, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer of [all] existence. Neither drowsiness overtakes Him nor sleep. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. Who is it that can intercede with Him except by His permission? He knows what is [presently] before them and what will be after them, and they encompass not a thing of His knowledge except for what He wills. His Kursi extends over the heavens and the earth, and their preservation tires Him not. And He is the Most High, the Most Great.]]]

Sometimes,one read "He is with you" doesn't mean that He is mixed with His creatures, because the Arabic language does not imply. Furthermore, this is contrary to what the predecessors of this community unanimously agree, this also goes against the innate nature in which Allah has cast His creatures. Allah is the absolute Lord is on the throne, keeping His creatures, dominant and knowing everything they do.

All that was mentioned by Allah, that He is on the throne and He is to us, is a reality that need not be falsified. However, this truth must be preserved false presumptions as to think for example that the predominant meaning of "heaven" is that the latter supports Allah or overlooks. This is false as stated unanimously, people of islamic science and faith.

Conclusion:

"Allah glorified be He, is above His heavens on His Throne, [while] separate and distinct from His creation." That is to UNDERSTAND,Allah is not omnipresent.

This isn't relevant to this thread, but as you've wrote it, does this mean Holy Spirit is like God the Mother?

The Father isn't male, because God is God and has no gender or sex. There is no "God the Mother", God created male and female in the divine likeness; thus both the masculine and feminine are a reflection of God's glory. We don't call Him "Father" because He's a male, but because our Lord Jesus spoke of Him in this way, speaking of God as His Father, thus He is called Father because Jesus reveals Him to be His Father; and we call Him our Father because we have become children of God by the grace of God, united to Jesus.

The Holy Spirit is the Holy Spirit, also called the Spirit of God. We say that the Son is "eternally begotten" of the Father, we also say that the Holy Spirit "eternally proceeds" from the Father [and the Son*].

Is there any verse is the Qur'an that says Allah is omnipresent -- meaning he is everywhere at the same time?

Thank you.
"And to Allah belong the east and the west, so wherever you turn yourselves or your faces there is the Face of Allah (and He is High above, over His Throne). Surely! Allah is All-Sufficient for His creatures' needs, All-Knowing."
this is the verse plz suit yourself
the omnipresent is one of ALLAH's title from 99 names and titles for ALLAH.one of them is the omnipresent

the Quran:
He it is Who created the heavens and the earth in six Days and then Istawa (rose over) the Throne (in a manner that suits His Majesty). He knows what goes into the earth and what comes forth from it, what descends from the heaven and what ascends thereto. And He is with you (by His Knowledge) wheresoever you may be. And Allah is the All-Seer of what you do

Allah! La ilaha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He), the Ever Living, the One Who sustains and protects all that exists. Neither slumber, nor sleep overtake Him. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on earth. Who is he that can intercede with Him except with His Permission? He knows what happens to them (His creatures) in this world, and what will happen to them in the Hereafter . And they will never compass anything of His Knowledge except that which He wills. His Kursi extends over the heavens and the earth, and He feels no fatigue in guarding and preserving them. And He is the Most High, the Most Great. [This Verse 2:255 is called Ayat-ul-Kursi.]
