From the teachings of Hazrat Maulana Shah Abdur Raheem Sahab Dard (Rahmatullah Alaih)
Meaning
Al-Hayy means the Ever-Living: the One whose life is perfect, without beginning or end, who never sleeps or tires, and who sustains everything.
Understanding the Name
Every living being received its life from Allah and will lose it, but Al-Hayy lives forever. Ayat al-Kursi begins: “Allah, there is no god but Him, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer of all existence. Neither drowsiness overtakes Him nor sleep” (Al-Baqarah 2:255). The Prophet ﷺ used to call upon Allah in difficulty with the words: Ya Hayyu ya Qayyumu bi-rahmatika astaghith, “O Ever-Living, O Sustainer, by Your mercy I seek help.”
Placing trust in someone who will die is placing trust in something temporary. “And rely upon the Ever-Living who does not die” (Al-Furqan 25:58).
Effects and reflections
Allah is the One who lives forever. It is often said that the lines on the right and left palms of a human being resemble the numerals 81 and 18, which together make 99.
A human being reflects the 99 qualities of Allah, and is the best of Allah’s creation. The one whose conscience is alive and whose heart holds iman is truly successful.
Treatment (Amal)
Whoever writes “Yā Ḥayy” 3,000 times daily on a ceramic plate (with saffron and rose water), dissolves it in water and drinks it, and recites it 29 times after every prayer, will, Insha’Allah, be rewarded.
