What is the ruling on saying: "Nothing is eternal except the Face of the Generous (Kareem)," intending by "Kareem" Allah?
If a person says "Nothing is eternal except a generous face," intending that the Face of Allah Almighty is what endures, then this is a correct statement and there is no harm in it. This is because Allah Almighty is the only One who remains after the annihilation of all creatures, in accordance with His saying: "Everyone upon it will perish, And there will remain the Face of your Lord, Owner of Majesty and Honor" (Quran 55:26-27), and His saying: "Everything will perish except His Face" (Quran 28:88).
