Question:
Also. The meaning of Allah’s saying, “As long as the heavens and the earth endure,” is that the heavens, the earth, and the water do not cease to exist.
Answer:
His intent is the continuation of eternal abode, and that there is no end to it. The people of Paradise are eternal in Paradise, forever and ever, and the people of the Fire are eternal in the Fire, forever and ever, except for those who enter it from among the Muslims who committed major sins; they are not eternal in it, but rather they are punished according to the measure of their sins and then they are brought out of it. So His saying, “As long as the heavens and the earth endure,” is like His saying, “Eternal therein, forever.”
