The questioner : O Shaykh, may Allah preserve you. On the Day of Resurrection, Allah, Blessed and Exalted is He, calls out and says: [Ghafir 40:16] After all creation has been destroyed, will some of them, for example the young boys, the houris, Paradise, and the Fire, be destroyed, or only the creatures and not these things?
The Shaykh :[Ghafir 40:16] Allah, Mighty and Majestic, addresses these exposed ones, saying: [Ghafir 40:16] In this world, you had kings and slaves, owners and owned. So whose is the kingdom today? Then He, Mighty and Majestic, answers Himself: [Yusuf 12:39].
The questioner : Yes, O Shaykh, but in the same hadith, Allah, Blessed and Exalted is He, answers Himself by saying: [Yusuf 12:39].
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : Is there ... evidence that Paradise and the Fire will also be destroyed?
The Shaykh : No, there is no evidence for this. This is before the people of the Fire enter the Fire and before the people of Paradise enter Paradise, in the plains of the Resurrection.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : Yes.
