O Ever-Living, O Sustainer
Morning Adhkar
O Ever-Living, O Sustainer
يَا حَيُّ يَا قَيُّومُ بِرَحْمَتِكَ أَسْتَغِيثُ، أَصْلِحْ لِي شَأْنِي كُلَّهُ، وَلَا تَكِلْنِي إِلَى نَفْسِي طَرْفَةَ عَيْنٍ
Ya Hayyu ya Qayyumu bi-rahmatika astaghith, aslih li sha'ni kullah, wa la takilni ila nafsi tarfata 'ayn.
O Ever-Living, O Sustainer, by Your mercy I seek relief. Set right all of my affairs and do not leave me to myself even for the blink of an eye.
Plain text (no diacritics)
يا حي يا قيوم برحمتك أستغيث، أصلح لي شأني كله، ولا تكلني إلى نفسي طرفة عين
When is it said?
The morning adhkar are said from dawn until the sun has risen, and best of all immediately after the Fajr prayer, before you leave the place where you prayed. If the window passes, say them when you remember — adhkar are not like obligatory prayers, which are not valid outside their time.
Where it comes in the litany
Dhikr number 20 of 22 in Morning Adhkar — read in the order they are said.
