Know The 99 Names Of Allah -- Al Hayy, Al Qayyum (The Liiving, The Sustainer)

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
In the Name of Allah, Most Merciful, Most Compassionate 

Allahumma salli 'ala Muhammad wa 'ala aalihi wa sahbihi wasallam. 

When you find yourself engrossed with this dunya, do dhikr of Allah. Keep your mouth moist with dhikr of Allah. Do things for Allah. Don't look at the news, put yourself away. Make du'a to Allah. O Allah this is all I can do and I am asking You a way out. The moment you start living for Allah, then everything will increase your faith. Try to be noble. Even if bad things are thrown towards you, you smile. Every good action takes you higher. 

Al Hayy is the Living and that everything other than Him is not living. Everything  exist through Him making it exists. 

Al Hayy is often followed by Al Qayyum, the One who undertakes the sustenance of everything in the creation. 

ٱللَّهُ لَآ إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ ٱلْحَىُّ ٱلْقَيُّومُ ﴿٢

Allah - there is no deity except Him, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer of existence. [Quran, AleImran 3:2] 

A man came to Imam Kushairi and said that a man died and I cried so much over him that I lost my eyesight. Then the Iman said the sin is upon yourself because you love a living that dies. If you only love the living that doesn't die, you don't need to be crying so much over this person.

Total realization of this Name is by firmly footed in beholding in only His life until You yourself are with Him like a corpse in the hands of its washer. (Ibn Ajiba)

If you realized this trait that you have died in this sort of spiritual death, that is the real door of the real spiritual life and then whoever beholds you is given life through your life, i.e. when your spirit is alive through knowing that its life is though His life then you become a source of spiritual life for other people.

The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam brought life to all of us. Life has come to continents and across centuries through the life of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam. 

وَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى ٱلْحَىِّ ٱلَّذِى لَا يَمُوتُ وَسَبِّحْ بِحَمْدِهِۦ ۚ وَكَفَىٰ بِهِۦ بِذُنُوبِ عِبَادِهِۦ خَبِيرًا ﴿٥٨

And rely upon the Ever-Living who does not die, and exalt [Allah] with His praise. And sufficient is He to be, with the sins of His servants, Acquainted - [Quran, Al Furqan 25:58] 

Al Qayyum is the One whose existence doesn't need the existence of others and the existence of others need the existence of Him. He exists through Himself. He is the One who took responsibility of everything. He is the One who plan and take control of matter that takes place in this world. He is the Sustainer who through Him that everything exist.

The slaves share of this qayyumiyah is commensurate with his freedom of need except Allah. (Imam Ghazali)

Whoever knows that He is Al Qayyum, he is free of the stress of fatique and he lives a content soul. (Kushairi)

ٱللَّهُ لَآ إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ ٱلْحَىُّ ٱلْقَيُّومُ ۚ لَا تَأْخُذُهُۥ سِنَةٌ وَلَا نَوْمٌ ۚ لَّهُۥ مَا فِى ٱلسَّمَـٰوَ‌ٰتِ وَمَا فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ ۗ مَن ذَا ٱلَّذِى يَشْفَعُ عِندَهُۥٓ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِهِۦ ۚ يَعْلَمُ مَا بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَمَا خَلْفَهُمْ ۖ وَلَا يُحِيطُونَ بِشَىْءٍ مِّنْ عِلْمِهِۦٓ إِلَّا بِمَا شَآءَ ۚ وَسِعَ كُرْسِيُّهُ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَ‌ٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ ۖ وَلَا يَـُٔودُهُۥ حِفْظُهُمَا ۚ وَهُوَ ٱلْعَلِىُّ ٱلْعَظِيمُ ﴿٢٥٥

Allah - there is no deity except Him, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer of [all] existence. Neither drowsiness overtakes Him nor sleep. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. Who is it that can intercede with Him except by His permission? He knows what is [presently] before them and what will be after them, and they encompass not a thing of His knowledge except for what He wills. His Kursi extends over the heavens and the earth, and their preservation tires Him not. And He is the Most High, the Most Great. [Quran, Al Baqarah 2:255] 

O Allah, open our hearts and our souls. Make our appointment with you our biggest worry and sorrow and make the best day in our lives the day we meet You. Make today better than yesterday, tomorrow better than today, the best day that we will ever live is the day You decide to send the angels to take our souls from our throats. Don't take our lives until you completely pleased with us. Enter us into paradise without any afflictions in the Hereafter. O Allah, You are more than capable of doing these and we know we don't deserve any of these, but we know Your Rahmah is bigger than our sins. Aameen.

Allahumma salli 'ala Muhammad wa 'ala aalihi wa sahbihi wasallam. 

And Allah knows best and is Most Wise, and He alone grants success, and to Him is the final return of all. 

Wassalaam
