Al-Hayy is the Ever-Living — His life has no beginning, no end, and no dependence on anything else. All other life depends on Him; He depends on nothing. Ayat al-Kursi begins with it. The greatest du’a: ‘Ya Hayyu ya Qayyum, bi rahmatika astaghith.‘

الحی ہمیشہ زندہ ہے — بغیر ابتداء، بغیر انتہاء۔ آیت الکرسی اسی سے شروع ہوتی ہے۔
