What is the meaning of "O Ever-Living, O Self-Subsisting, by Your mercy I seek assistance, rectify all my affairs for me," and when is it recommended to supplicate with it?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The meaning of the aforementioned supplication is the believer's request to Allah Almighty and his invocation of Him by His names, The Ever-Living, The Self-Subsisting, and seeking help through His mercy to rectify all of his affairs, and that He not abandon him to himself for the blink of an eye. Al-Qayyum is the One Who subsists by Himself and sustains all others.
