Q460 Please explain verses (3:1-2): “Alif, lam, mim. Allahu la ilaha illa huwa’l-hayyu’l-qayyum”.

A460

“By God’s Pen, the guarded Tablet [and] the writing [which is in the guarded Tablet]. God, there is no God but He, the living, the supporter [of each and every world].
This shows that al-hayy and al-qayyum are two special and great names of God and they have extremely great significance. The two blessed and living names of God are hujjat-i qa’im^(c) and Hazrat qa’im^(c). They are mentioned in the ayatu’l-kursi (2:255) and also in verse (20:111) and seven times in the Chapters that start with Ha Mim.
