Kitaab Sharh us-Sunnah
by Al-Barbahaaree
Trans. Abu Talhah Dawud Burbank


58: Some of Allah’s creation will come to an end, whilst others will remain, as He pleases.

Everything that Allah has decreed to come to an end will, indeed, end. Paradise and the Fire will not end, nor the Throne (‘Arsh), the Footstool (Kursee), the Pen (Qalam), the Horn (Soor) and the Preserved Tablet (Lawh). None of these things will ever perish. Then Allah will raise up the creation on the Day of Resurrection in the state in which He caused them to die. He will take account of them as He pleases, a group for Paradise and a group for the burning Fire, and he will say to the rest of creation which were not created to last, “Be dust.”
