From Abee Hurayrah رضي اللّه عنـه: The Prophet صلّى اللَّهُ عليه وسلّم said, “Allah has ninety−nine names, one-hundred minus one, not one of you preserves them them except that he shall enter Paradise. And Allah is witr and loves the witr.”1

(1) Allah (2) Al-Ilaah (3) Al-Hayy (4) Al-Qayyoom

Allah the Most High said,

ٱللَّهُ لَ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّ هُوَ ٱلْحَىُّ ٱلْقَيُّومُ

“Allah! Laa Ilaaha (Deity, God, that which deserves to be worshipped), illa Huwa, Al-Hayyu (the Ever Living)

Al-Qayyum (the One Who sustains and protects all that exists) ...”2
