Names of AllahAl-Qayyum - The Subsisting

>

القيوم

Al-Qayyum exists absolutely on His own, not through others, while every being exists through Him and because of Him. Nothing, no life whatever, can ever be sustained without Him. Al-Qayyum is the ever-Lasting, the Eternal Who never suffers extinction. He effects justice and equity, Who is self- Sustaining, Who never sleeps.

Al-Qayyum in the Quran (Chapter 3)

ٱللَّهُ لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ ٱلْحَىُّ ٱلْقَيُّومُ ﴿٢﴾

Allah, (there is) no god but He, the Everliving, the Self-subsisting by Whom all things subsist
