وَالْجَنَّةُ وَالنَّارُ مَخْلُوقَتَانِ لَا تَفْنَيَانِ أَبَدًا وَلَا تَبِيدَانِ
Paradise and Hell have both been created. They will never perish or cease to exist.
لَا يَفْنَى وَلَا يَبِيدُ.
He neither perishes nor comes to an end.
How the passages fit: Allah’s imperishability belongs to His eternal nature; Paradise and Hell are created abodes whose continued existence is by divine decree. Their permanence is not identical in kind to the Creator’s eternity.
Application: Accepting the created nature of Paradise and Hell is consistent with accepting their lasting permanence. Continued existence does not make them uncreated.
Limit of inference: “Both continue to exist” does not imply “both are beginningless and uncreated.”
