The supplication *“Ya Hayyu Ya Qayyum, bi Rahmatika astaghith, aslih li sha’ni kullahu wa la takilni ila nafsi tarfata ’ayn”* is a beautiful and powerful dua that carries deep meaning and reliance on Allah. Let’s break it down: Translation: “O Ever-Living, O Self-Sustaining, by Your Mercy I seek help. Rectify all my affairs and do not leave me to myself even for the blink of an eye.” Explanation: 1. “Ya Hayyu Ya Qayyum” – • Ya Hayyu (O Ever-Living) refers to Allah’s eternal and perfect life. He never dies, never weakens, and is always in full control. • Ya Qayyum (O Self-Sustaining) means Allah is completely independent, and everything in existence depends on Him. He sustains and manages the entire universe. 2. “Bi Rahmatika Astaghith” – • By Your Mercy, I seek help. This shows complete reliance on Allah’s mercy rather than our own abilities. It is an acknowledgment that without His mercy, we are lost. 3. “Aslih li sha’ni kullahu” – • Rectify all my affairs. We are asking Allah to correct and improve everything in our lives—our deen (faith), dunya (worldly matters), and akhirah (hereafter). 4. “Wa la takilni ila nafsi tarfata ’ayn” – • Do not leave me to myself for even the blink of an eye. This expresses our total dependence on Allah. Even for a fraction of a second, we do not want to be left to our own weaknesses, because without His guidance and support, we would fail. Virtue of This Dua: • The Prophet ﷺ used this dua regularly, and it is reported in Sunan an-Nasa’i. • It is a powerful way to seek Allah’s help in all aspects of life. • It reminds us to always turn to Allah in times of difficulty and ease. When to Recite It: • During times of distress or hardship. • When seeking Allah’s guidance in important decisions. • Regularly in daily duas to increase reliance on Allah. May Allah rectify all our affairs and never leave us to ourselves even for a moment, Ameen🤎
