Being outside of the universe limits him to areas not in the universe.

I've seen lots of people claim he's outside the universe on this board.

I'm in my shoes, and in my office, both at the same time. Being in my shoes doesn't limit my ability to be in my office - except when I wear my clown shoes.

The first words in the Bible are these"In the beginning God created the Heavens and the earth."Genesis 1:1..The existence of God is taken for granted.To attempt to be "wise above what is written" is great folly.The existence of God is the greatest of mysteries. Neither man nor angel can comprehend it."Canst thou by searching find out God? Canst thou find out the Almighty unto perfection? It is as high as heaven; what canst thou do? deeper than hell; what canst thou know? The measure therfore is longer than the earth and broader than the sea" Job 11:7-9
If there is a God,man can know something about himself,where he came from,something about the universe, why it exists. If there is no God,nothing can be satisfactory known,and all things,whether they exists by fate or chance,are in hopless confusion and darkness.
Philosophers have generally admitted that there are "First truths" or First principles" from which all reasoning must proceed. The First Cause is another name for God. All secondary causes are dependent on the First Cause,but the First cause is absolutely independent.
Concieve the Divine Being as a Spirit,having the same dominion over the universe, in every part of space as that which our minds posses over every portion of our bodies. God has only to will the most importantly changes,and thay are instantly accomplished." He speaks, and it is done; he commands,and it stands fast".
finally,The Devine Being,as the great Father of Spirits,combines within Himself all the seperate energies of the universe. God is the source,orgin,and fountain of all power difussed through creation. The very minds which he has formed are kept in mysterious subordination, and can never overstep the bounds he has assigned them.Once have I heard this, that power belongs unto God. God is self-existent; for there can be no reason why he exists that do inhere in himself. The ideal of self-existence overwhelms us, but the constitution of the human mind is such as to require us to believe that there is a self-existent Being,the cause of all finite existence...There is a God,and he sits on the highest throne in Heaven!

Consider, envelopment isn't the same thing as being fenced outside of something. For example, human envelops animal envelops plant envelops mineral. As the person above me implies, semantics is the problem. Words are limited in describing spiritual reality. Even 'envelop' is pathetic to describe the concept.

Dude, where did you hear God was outside the universe? He's, like, everywhere, man.
Man, thats a lot of commas in that second sentence...

God is not omnipresent. His spirit is.
The Bible show that God has a heavenly spirit body that resides in a location. It also shows that his spirit is omnipresent, even to the point of going beyond the universe's boundaries.

As salaamu 'alaikym, my friend.
Allah, Subhanna wa Ta'ala, is outside of the dimension of time, having always existed.
Allah, Subhanna wa Ta'ala, is as close to us as our very breath.
Allah, Subhanna wa Ta'ala has not limits and can do all things.
Insha'Allah, you are incorrect in your theological understanding as no religion states that God (whether addressed as Allah, Subhanna wa Ta'ala, YHWH, Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, nor the gods and goddesses of the Hindu, Zoroaster's, etc.) is "outside" of the universe.
Your difficulty may be in that you are not reading the various scriptures in their original languages and the translations you may have inadvertently chosen might not be the best available taking into account the natural limitations of any translation.
Ma'a salaam.

Who told you he was outside the universe? I thought he was everywhere.

Nope. He's in the center of the universe, time, and history.

Heaven is outside the universe or so I believe.
There is our heaven, the second heaven where Satan went and God's heaven which is the third heaven.
