Rest In Pieces

Has Allah died or is it dying?

S 28:88 And do not invoke another god with Allah. There is no god but him. Everything is perishing except his face. His is the judgment and to him you are returned.

S 55:26-27 Everyone on it is evanescent. But the face of your lord, the possessor of majesty and honour, remains.

"Everyone on it". Is or was Allah on Earth?

Elsewhere we read that Allah was making a successor. So that suggests that Allah was either going to retire or kick the bucket.

S 2:30 And when your lord said to the angels: I am making a successor on Earth, they said: Are you making thereon one who corrupts thereon and sheds bloods when we glorify with your praise and sanctify for you? He said: I know what you do not know.

In S 8:67 we read: It was not for a prophet that he should have prisoners until he should injure in the land. You want the display of the dunya and Allah wants the hereafter. And Allah is mighty, wise.

Allah wants the hereafter. Isn't that something that is expected after death?

Who Wants the Hereafter?
