Allah Is not
Matter
Books, pens, tables, stones, trees, the
sun, the earthand things like these are all
material, that is, they aremade of matter. Light
and even air are material. Allmatter 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 andwhen we are at
home, we cannot be at school. Whenwe are at
home, we cannot see what is happening atschool;
and when we are at school, we cannot see whatis
happening at home.Material things can be seen by
the eyes and felt bythe 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
inneed of no object and no person. Allah is not
matter,because if He were matter He would need
space, andAllah is in need of nothing. Allah has
Himself createdspace.
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
thingsthat were elsewhere.
Allah is not matter, for He is not situated in a certain
place so as not to be elsewhere, rather everyone
andeverything has been created by Him.
For Allah there is no here and there, this place
andthat place, for to Him all places are as one.
He is witheveryone 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 theeyes or felt by the hand.
Allah is not light, for light is material and is in
needof space, but Allah needs nothing.
Allah has created space. Allah has created eyes
andhands. Allah has created light.
The limitless power of Allah is near everything
andevery person, and He is informed of every
place andevery person.
