Surah Hud ayat 107 Tafsir Quran 11:107

﴿خَالِدِينَ فِيهَا مَا دَامَتِ السَّمَاوَاتُ وَالْأَرْضُ إِلَّا مَا شَاءَ رَبُّكَ ۚ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ فَعَّالٌ لِّمَا يُرِيدُ﴾
[ هود: 107]

11:107 [They will be] abiding therein as long as the heavens and the earth endure, except what your Lord should will. Indeed, your Lord is an effecter of what He intends.

abiding therein for as long as the heavens and the earth endure that is for the length of the duration of both in this world except other than what your Lord may will in the way of adding to the duration of these two such that it their abiding becomes indefinite meaning that they will abide therein forever. Truly your Lord is Doer of what He desires.

They shall remain within as long as the heavens and the earth last except as Allah wills; Allah, your Creator, does what He will

(11:107) They shall abide in it as long as the heavens and the earth endure, *107 unless your Lord may will otherwise. Surely your Lord does whatsoever He wills. *108

[They will be] abiding therein as long meaning

*107).
There are two possible interpretations for the words, 'as long as the heavens and the earth endure'.
One possibility is that they refer to the heavens
*108).
There is no power other than God's that can prevent the sinners from suffering eternal punishment.
However, God may Himself will that someone may be spared His unending punishment.
He may also decide to pardon such a person after he has been made to suffer a period of punishment in the After-life.
In such cases, God certainly has both the authority and the power to do that.
For if there is any law, it is God Who has made it, and hence that law can set no limit upon His power and authority.

 

( Abiding there ) they will stay in the Fire forever ( so long as the heavens and the earth endure ) for as long as the heavens and the earth remain, from the moment they were created until the moment they lapse ( save for that which thy Lord willeth ) and your Lord has willed that they will abide in the Fire forever; it is also said: those who are damned will abide therein forever for as long as the heavens, the earth and the children of Adam subsist, except those whom Allah wills to change from damnation to felicity by His saying: ( Allah effaceth what He will, and establishes [ 13:39 ] ); it is also said that this means: they will abide in the Fire for as long as the heavens and the earth subsist: the heaven of the Fire and the earth of the Fire unless Allah wills to get the people who believed in Allah’s divine Oneness out of it, those whose wretchedness was caused by a sin less than disbelief. Allah will enter these into Paradise because of their pure faith. ( Lo! thy Lord is Doer of what He will ) as He will.

They will dwell therein for all the time that the heavens and the earth endure, except as your Lord wills. Verily, your Lord is the doer of what He wills.
