Question:
The questioner asks: Is it permissible to address Allah with this saying, "You have written for you permanence, so you will live on"?
Answer:
One does not address Allah in this way; rather, one supplicates to Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He). Yes. There is no basis for this statement, "You have written for you permanence"; it has no basis. Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) says:[Ar-Rahman 55:26-27]. It is not said, "You have written permanence for you," but rather, "You have informed us that you have permanence and continuity, and that everyone other than you dies." You have informed us; He does not say, "You have written." Yes.

Answer:

(26) Everyone upon the earth will perish, (27) And there will remain the Face of your Lord, Owner of Majesty and Honor.
