What is your opinion of one of the brothers saying: "Praise be to Allah, who has decreed annihilation for every created thing except what Allah (Mighty and Majestic) has exempted: 'Every thing will perish except His Face'"
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : One of the brothers said: "Praise be to Allah, who has decreed annihilation for every created thing except what Allah (Mighty and Majestic) has exempted: [Al-Qasas 28:88]."
The Shaykh : Is it a created thing?
The questioner : I am asking you, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh : It is a mistake, heh heh.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good. They speak of a disconnected exception and a connected exception, meaning, do you see?
The Shaykh : No, that is not applicable here. There is a connected exception and a disconnected exception, but the exception here, whether it is disconnected or connected, refers to Allah (Blessed and Exalted is He). So, without a doubt, other than Allah, everything other than Allah is perishable.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
Everything will be destroyed except His Face
