The answer in brief

machinesummary, machine-written

It is not haram: creation, including the afterlife, once brought into being remains forever in some form while still being other than God.

In more detail

Asked whether it is haram to believe that the universe is never-ending, Mufti Abu Layth says no, depending on what is meant. He says creation once brought into existence will in one way remain forever: however people picture the afterlife, as souls, consciousness or rivers and trees, they picture it as eternal, and it is still creation, other than God. So in that sense it is never-ending.
