وَلَا شَيْءَ يُعْجِزُهُ — Nothing can overcome Allah; He has absolute power.
وَلَا إِلٰهَ غَيْرُهُ — No one other than Him is the true deity.
قَدِيمٌ بِلَا ابْتِدَاءٍ، دَائِمٌ بِلَا انْتِهَاءٍ — He is without beginning and without end.
لَا يَفْنَى وَلَا يَبِيدُ — He neither perishes nor can be destroyed.
The distinction between possible and actual extinction further shows why a creature’s continued existence is not equal to Allah’s inherent eternity.
