“Al Hayyul Qayyum (There are two of Allahs names which comprose the perfection of Attributes and Actions)”

Listen to Ayatul Kursi: [mp3: http://www.areweprepared.ca/audio/ayatulkursi.mp3]

Al- Hayy

• Meaning: The One who Possesses the Perfect living.
• He was not created, does not have a beginning, and He does not die.
• His Hearing, Sight, Sayings and Actions are all perfect from every angle.
• “And put your trust and reliance upon the One who is Ever Living, Who des not die.” (Al Furqan:58)
• “Everything will perish save His Face.” (Al Qasas: 88)

Al- Qayyum

• From al Qiyam. This name came in a form of intensiveness.
• It means the One who is established on His Own, Self Subsisting, by whom all things subsist.
• He is the Ultimate Caretaker who is taking care of everything with His creation, protection and provision.
• He is absolutely free of any need from His Creation.
• He does not need any supporter, helper, deputy or an advisor.

How do we reconcile between this meaning and what He said in His Book: “O you who believe! If you help Allah, He will help you.” (Muhammad: 7)

The Answer: If you support His religion, He will surely help you.

Support Allah means supporting the deen of Allah. Allah is able to make the deen victorious without our help.
