AL-QAYYUM

(The Self-Subsisting One)

The Self-Subsisting, The Self-Existing One upon Whom all others depend

Al-Qayyum nature is to exist, completely free from dependence on anything or anyone. Al-Qayyum is the one through whom all things arise. He is Ever-Living and Self-Sustaining. Everything else in existence depends on Al-Qayyum.

From the root q-w-m which has the following classical Arabic connotations: to stand up, to rise up, to ascend, become high to begin, to start, to come to pass to arise, to set out to be on-going, to exist to be founded, to be built on to undertake, to carry out, to manage to make aright, straighten out, accurate, exact to make righteous, upright

And [all] faces will be humbled before the Ever-Living, the Sustainer of existence. And he will have failed who carries injustice. (Quran 20:111)
