Will only Allah abide eternally or will his creation also?

Salam, > There is no deity except Him. **Everything** will be destroyed except His Face. [Al-Qasas 28:88] > But no! Those who commit evil and are engrossed in sin will be the residents of the Fire. They **will be there forever**. And those who believe and do good will be the residents of Paradise. **They will abide there eternally.** [2:81-82] The first verse says that everything will be destroyed by God except himself but the second verse says that there will be (atleast some or many)people who will be living eternally (either in heaven or hell). Apparently these verses look incompatible and contradictory with each others. How do Qur'an scholars explain this ?
