What is the correct definition of the abstract and the material, and are they separate or intertwined? Which of them follows the other? Can one exist without the other? And are the Creator, creation, and life abstract or material?
These questions are closer to sophistry. The questioner is advised to refer to encyclopedias and dictionaries and not to continue using words in such a manner that could lead him out of the fold of Islam. Allah is the Creator of matter and the One Who gives it meaning. It is not correct to attribute the Creator to matter or to equate Him with created beings. If it is recklessness, let him beware of the : "Indeed, a servant may utter a word that displeases Allah, not giving it any thought, by which he falls into Hell." And if it is play and mockery, let him hear the Almighty's saying: "And if you ask them, they will surely say, 'We were only indulging in idle talk and play.' Say, 'Is it with Allah, His verses, and His Messenger that you were mocking?' Make no excuse; you have disbelieved after your belief." So, he must repent from this carelessness.
