Hayya wa Qayyam (Daniel 6:26)

 

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

One of the most powerful names of Allah Most High is

al-Hayy ul-Qayyûm

The Living, the Enduring

This most holy name occurs thrice in the text of the holy Quran, including in Ayat al-Kursi. Interestingly, it is also found in the Book of Daniel:

חַיָּ֗א וְקַיָּם֙

Hayyâ wa Qayyâm

I make a decree, That in every dominion of my kingdom men tremble and fear before the God of Daniel: for he is the living God, and stedfast for ever [Hû Elâhâ Hayyâ wa Qayyâm] and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed, and his dominion shall be even unto the end (Daniel 6:26, KJV)

Incidentally, this is an implicit proof that Daniel is one of the true Prophets and the Scripture of Daniel is from divine inspiration. Jesus testified to the fact that Daniel was a Prophet (Matthew 24:15; Mark 13:14).
