00:00.000 --> 00:07.000
Al-Hay, the Living, He who Knows and is Almighty to do all things.

00:07.000 --> 00:11.000
He is the Living, there is no God but Him.

00:11.000 --> 00:15.000
So call on Him, making your religion sincerely His.

00:15.000 --> 00:18.000
Praise be to Allah, the Lord of all the worlds.

00:30.000 --> 00:35.000
Human beings are weak and have little power to do anything during their lives.

00:35.000 --> 00:41.000
They spend the first 5-10 years after their arrival in this world in a state of semi-consciousness.

00:41.000 --> 00:44.000
During this time, they are in constant need of care and looking after.

00:44.000 --> 00:49.000
Following that period, they spend much of their lives grooming and cleaning themselves.

00:49.000 --> 00:53.000
If they are unwilling to do that, they soon become repellent to look at.

00:53.000 --> 01:01.000
Of course, it is only humans and other created life forms that are helpless.

01:01.000 --> 01:07.000
Allah, the Creator of the entire universe, living and non-living, is the Al-Hay.

01:07.000 --> 01:14.000
He is always vigorous, rules at every moment, knows all things and is Almighty to do all things.

01:14.000 --> 01:19.000
Sleep does not enfold Him and He is unfettered by any weakness.

01:19.000 --> 01:26.000
Allah has given His creations various weaknesses and has commanded them to serve Him alone

01:26.000 --> 01:31.000
and ask for everything from Him alone by being aware of those weaknesses.

01:31.000 --> 01:37.000
Human beings' duty is to know they have no power to do anything unless He so wishes,

01:37.000 --> 01:42.000
not even to survive for a single moment and to turn to our Lord at all times.

01:42.000 --> 01:44.000
In one verse, Allah reveals that

01:44.000 --> 01:51.000
I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Satan.

01:51.000 --> 01:57.000
Allah, there is no God but Him, the living, the self-sustaining.

01:57.000 --> 01:58.000
Allah!
