Top Allah is not Matter In Science, matter is defined as anything that has mass and occupies space. Books, Pens, Tables, Stones, Tress, 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.
Matter cannot exist without space. But matter is confined to one place and cannot be in two places at the same time. 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.
