اللَّهُ لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الْحَيُّ الْقَيُّومُ لَا تَأْخُذُهُ سِنَةٌ وَلَا نَوْمٌ. (al-Baqarah 2:255)
Allah—there is no deity but Him—the Ever-Living, the Sustainer of all; neither drowsiness nor sleep overtakes Him.
Al-Ḥayy affirms His life, and al-Qayyūm His sustaining of all things. Lā taʾkhudhuhu sinatun wa-lā nawm denies drowsiness and sleep of Allah.
His life and sustaining power are not dependent on created bodily needs.
