Who is the deity that you worship?
من الإله الذي تعبده؟
If someone asks you: Who is the deity that you worship? I worship the Ever-Living: All-Sustaining Whose Life is infinite; it has neither beginning nor end: for He is who begets not: nor was He begotten: and there is none co-equal or comparable unto Him.
لو قيل لك: من الإله الذي تعبده؟ أعبد الله الحي القيوم. الذي له الحياة الكاملة لم يسبقها عدم و لا يلحقها فناء فهو الذي لم يلد ولم يولد ولم يكن له كفوا أحد.

Scholarly Insight: In Islamic theology: describing Allah as the "Ever-Living" (Al-Hayy) and the "All-Sustaining" (Al-Qayyum) establishes His absolute perfection and independence. The Holy Quran emphasizes these attributes to remind believers that: unlike creation: the Creator has no beginning or end. Acknowledging Allah as the sole manager of existence cultivates a profound sense of gratitude and reliance: reinforcing that our very survival and continuous blessings depend entirely on His mercy and sustenance.
