Will Allah Almighty die after the people of Paradise have settled in Paradise and the people of Hellfire have settled in Hellfire?
Allah Almighty is Ever-Living and does not die. His existence, glory be to Him, is not contingent upon the existence of creation. He is the First, before whom there was nothing, and the Last, after whom there will be nothing. His life is a complete intrinsic attribute, free from any deficiency, as He says: {Allah - there is no deity except Him, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer of [all] existence} and {And rely upon the Ever-Living who does not die}. The name "Al-Hayy" (The Ever-Living) means the Enduring One upon whom death and annihilation are impossible. Al-Sa'di mentioned that the two names "Al-Hayy Al-Qayyum" encompass all attributes of perfection. "Al-Hayy" includes the attributes of the Essence, such as knowledge and power, and "Al-Qayyum" includes the attributes of actions, for He is the Self-Sufficient One by whom the heavens and the earth subsist. The perpetual bliss of the people of Paradise and the eternal torment of the people of Hell are evidence of Allah's continuous life, knowledge, and power.
