He whose existence has no end, He who exists evermore. He who exists from eternity and going to remain forever to eternity.
The Holy Quran (55:26-27)
All that is on earth will perish: But WILL ABIDE (FOREVER) THE FACE OF THY LORD, Full of Majesty, Bounty, and Honor.
“What is with you must vanish; what is with God will endure”
He will never perish and non-existence can never afflict Him; His Existence is eternal and permanent.
The related term baqā’, which is from the same b-q-y root, is often translated as eternal life. In the state of baqā’ bi-llāh there is a return from the ephemeral to the eternal, a shift from the egocentric to the Divine, where all that remains is the eternal.
The return to the Everlasting, the return from one’s worldly preoccupation with the ephemeral, the shift away from one’s own ego being treated as the center of life, is often called fanā’ which literally means to fade away, dwindle, recede, or come to an end.
He exists beyond the concept of space and time.
He is Al-Baqi The Everlasting – and He remains. His attributes remain as they are. He is Allah.
