Qayyum

To internalize the tenet of Qayyum is to cultivate a profound spirituality. The realization that one is perpetually supported by a divine entity fosters a sense of security and purpose. It inspires acts of gratitude, reverence, and submission. Spiritual practices such as prayer and meditation can be enriched by this understanding, as they serve as profound connections to Allah’s sustaining presence. This highlights the importance of fostering an awareness of divinity in everyday life, thereby transcending mundane existence and engaging with the transcendent.

Qayyum in Daily Life: A Call to Action

So, what does it mean to embrace the concept of Qayyum in daily practice? For Shia adherents, it poses a challenge: how do we live as reflections of this divine attribute? Moments of gratitude, empathy, and acts of service toward others epitomize a life lived in recognition of Allah’s sustaining power. When one acknowledges their reliance on Allah, they are inspired to extend that same sustaining hand to their communities. This calls for engagement, charity, and an unwavering commitment to social justice. Clarity in this mission arises from an intricate relationship with the divine, challenging believers to embody the characteristic of being sustainers themselves.
