Allah Is not Matter
Books, pens, tables, stones, trees,
the sun, the earth
and things like these are all material,
that is, they are
made of matter.Light and even
air are material.All
matter needs space, in other words
a place to be in,
and matter cannot exist without
space.But matter is
confined to one place, and cannot
be in two places at
the same time.For example, our bodies are made
up of matter;
when we are at school, we cannot
be at home and
when we are at home, we cannot
be at school.When
we are at home, we cannot see what
is happening at
school; and when we are at school,
we cannot see what
is happening at home.Material things can be seen by
the eyes and felt by
the hands.The things we see or
feel are all matter,
even air and light.Now, think
about these two questions:
(a) Is Allah matter?
(b) Can Allah be seen by the eyes?
Allah is perfect and without any
needs, and His
Wisdom and Power are limitless.Therefore, He is in
need of no object and no person.Allah is not matter,
because if He were matter He would
need space, and
Allah is in need of nothing.Allah
has Himself created
space.Allah is not matter, because if
He were matter He
would be here and not there, or
there but not some
where else, and He could not have
created the things
that were elsewhere.Allah is not matter, for He is
not situated in a certain
place so as not to be elsewhere,
rather everyone and
everything has been created by
Him.For Allah there is no here and
there, this place and
that place, for to Him all places
are as one.He is with
everyone and is informed of all
places.Allah is not matter, and He occupies
no space,
neither in the heavens nor in the
earth.Allah is not matter, and He cannot
be seen with the
eyes or felt by the hand.Allah is not light, for light is
material and is in need
of space, but Allah needs nothing.Allah has created space.Allah
has created eyes and
hands.Allah has created light.The limitless power of Allah is
near everything and
every person, and He is informed
of every place and
every person.
