3-Endless Bliss Third Fascicle - Hakikat Kitabevi

“He created the earth in two days,” and its twelfth âyat
purports: “then, He created the seven heavens in two days,
too.” If a person comes forward, denies these âyats of the
Qur’ân, and says that some creatures, heavens, stars,
elements, minds and souls are eternal, it will be understood that
he is an idiot. All dîns have communicated that everything other
than Allâhu ta’âlâ is hâdith, that is, they were created afterwards
while they had been nonexistent. This unanimity of all dîns is
communicated by Hujjat-ul-Islâm Imâm-i Muhammad Ghazâlî in
his book Almunqidhu Aniddalâl, in which he also writes that
those who say that some of the things in the âlam are eternal
will become disbelievers. As it is seen, to say that one of the
creatures is eternal means to go out of the dîn and to become a
philosopher. All things other than Allâhu ta’âlâ were
nonexistent, and they will cease to exist again. Towards
Doomsday, stars will leave their places and disperse, heavens
will be rent asunder, and mountains also will be torn to pieces,
and all will be annihilated. The Qur’ân informs with the fact
clearly. All groups of Muslims have communicated this
unanimously. Al-hâqqa Sûra purports, “Once the Sûr is
blown, the earth and mountains shall be lifted up and
shaken off. That day, end of the world shall come, the sky
shall be divided and rent asunder.” Takwîr Sûra purports,
“When the sun shall darken, the stars shall fall and the
mountains shall be broken to pieces and dispersed...”;
Infitâr Sûra purports, “When the sky shall be broken apart
and the stars shall be dispersed and annihilated...” and the
last âyat of Qasas Sûra purports, “Everything shall be
annihilated, He only shall remain!”
These and many other similar âyats exist in the Qur’ân. It
will be ignorance not to believe that they will be annihilated. Or
it is to believe in the falsely-adorned lies of the philosophers
who deny the Qur’ân. As it is seen, it is one of the conditions of
îmân to believe that creatures will be annihilated as well as to
believe that they were created from nothing. It is certainly
necessary to believe it. Some savants said that seven things,
namely the Arsh, the Kursî, the Lawh, the Pen, Paradise, Hell,
the Rûh, will not be annihilated, and they will remain eternally.
But these words of theirs do not mean that these cannot be
annihilated. They mean that Allâhu ta’âlâ will annihilate
whichever He wishes of the things which He created and He will
