ATHÎR – أثير

 

The subtle matter that encompasses everywhere and exists all over the universe and fills all spaces from the spaces among the stars to the spaces among the atoms and inside of the atoms. The thin matter, which is the means for spreading the fluid forces like electricity, light, heat, attraction and repulsion. The fluid, thin, flexible, weak matter that cannot be seen or identified by the technical devices.

The atoms and their units like electrons, neutrons and positrons are created from the athîr.

 

Also, it is as though they see further, some of the people, through a more ignorantly dhalâlah, imagine the matter of athîr, which is an extremely subtle, delicate, obedient, subjugated page of the activities of As-Sâni' Zuljalâl, a means of carrying His commands, a weak veil of His disposal, a subtle ink of His writing, a most delicate garment of His creations, a leaven of beings He created with art and tillage of His seeds, to be the origin and the agent because it acts as a mirror to the manifestation of His rubûbiyyah. This strange ignorance necessitates infinite impossibilities.

Because the matter of athîr is more subtle than the matter of particles, which drown the materialists, and denser than the index of primordial matter in which the ancient philosophers were stuck; it is an unconscious, lifeless matter without will. To attribute to this matter, which may be infinitely divided and broken to pieces and is equipped with the duties and qualities of delivering and being acted upon by an agent, or to its particles, which are far minuter than particles, the actions and works, which come to existence through a will and power that sees, knows and manage all things in everything, is false to the number of particles of athîr.

The Thirtieth Flash-The Sixth Subtle Point- First Ray

 

The First Rule: It is established by science and hikmah that the limitless space of ‘âlam is not an infinite emptiness but filled with a matter that they called athîr.

The Second: It is established by science and reason and even by the observation that a matter filling the space exists, which is the bond between the laws of the lofty celestial bodies, such as attraction and repulsion, and the conductor and transmitter of powers in matters, such as light, heat and electricity.

The Third: It has been demonstrated through experiments that the substance of athîr exists in various shapes and forms, similar to other substances, while it continues to be athîr. Just as gas, liquid and solid, three kinds of things, such as steam, water and ice, come into existence from the same substance. In the same way, there is no rational obstacle to the existence of levels of the substance of athîr; it cannot be objected to in any way.
