The Refutation of Ibn al-Jawzi's Saying (Like the Permanence of the Most Merciful)

[The Refutation of Ibn al-Jawzi's Saying (Like the Permanence of the Most Merciful)]

Your Eminence! What is your opinion regarding Ibn al-Jawzi's statement in the introduction of his book *Tanbih al-Na'il al-Ghamr li-istighlal mawasim al-'umr* (Alerting the Attainer of the Abundant to Exploit the Seasons of Life): "And this brief life, he purchased with it eternal abode in the gardens and permanence that does not cease, like the permanence of the Most Merciful?"
As for the fact that the pleasure does not cease, that is clear, for the Qur'an is full of statements that the people of Paradise are eternal therein forever,And as for His saying: like the permanence of the Most Merciful. I do not know if this word is established in the speech of Ibn al-Jawzi. In any case, Ibn al-Jawzi (may Allah have mercy on him) is not one who is relied upon in matters of the attributes,But this word is deniable: like the permanence of the Most Merciful; because it contradicts the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him and his family),Rather, the saying of Allah: [Al-Hadid: 3] The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The Last, after which there is nothing." If we say that this remains like the permanence of the Most Merciful, its meaning becomes equal to the Most Merciful in permanence, and this is not correct. So the important point is that this word is deniable, and he noted in the book you have that this word is deniable,Contradicts the saying of Allah the Exalted: ،And the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him): "You are the First, before You is nothing, and You are the Last, after You is nothing."
