"O Ḥayy O Qayyūm! I seek help through Your Mercy! Perfect all of my affairs, and do not leave me to myself even for the blink of an eye" [Nisa'ī's al-Kabīr].
Some benefits:
- Du'as are always made more effective when we used Allah's Divine Names. In this du'a, the two names al-Ḥayy & al-Qayyūm are used, which are the combination in Ayāt al-Kursī.
- Comprehensive phrases are best in du'as. Asking Allah to perfect and correct all of our affairs is a request for each and ever facet of our lives ...
- We are nothing without Allah! Hence we can't rely on ourselves and seek refuge from being abandoned!
