[18]
Everything is Perishable; the Exception is Only for Allah:
That is, whatever is created is contingent, and only Allah’s Essence is eternal. Whatever has been made, whether it is inanimate, will inevitably cease to function one day, become ruined, destroyed, and perish. And whatever is living will also certainly face death. Only Allah’s Essence and Attributes are eternal and everlasting. Therefore, nothing except them will remain. By Allah’s Attributes are meant, for example, the Speech of Allah or the Quran, or the Preserved Tablet, and the books of deeds, etc. As for the angels, especially the bearers of the Throne, Allah knows best about them, because in several places in the Quran, angels attribute their speech to Allah. For example, when Jibreel came before Lady Maryam and said ﴿لِاَهَبَ لَكِ غُلٰمًا زَكِيًّا﴾ [22:19], even though granting a child or offspring is an attribute and act of Allah, not of the angels.
