Al-Hay, the Living, He who Knows and is Almighty to do all things.
He is the Living, there is no God but Him.
So call on Him, making your religion sincerely His.
Praise be to Allah, the Lord of all the worlds.
Human beings are weak and have little power to do anything during their lives.
They spend the first 5-10 years after their arrival in this world in a state of semi-consciousness.
During this time, they are in constant need of care and looking after.
Following that period, they spend much of their lives grooming and cleaning themselves.
If they are unwilling to do that, they soon become repellent to look at.
Of course, it is only humans and other created life forms that are helpless.
Allah, the Creator of the entire universe, living and non-living, is the Al-Hay.
He is always vigorous, rules at every moment, knows all things and is Almighty to do all things.
Sleep does not enfold Him and He is unfettered by any weakness.
Allah has given His creations various weaknesses and has commanded them to serve Him alone
and ask for everything from Him alone by being aware of those weaknesses.
Human beings' duty is to know they have no power to do anything unless He so wishes,
not even to survive for a single moment and to turn to our Lord at all times.
In one verse, Allah reveals that
I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Satan.
Allah, there is no God but Him, the living, the self-sustaining.
Allah!
