The questioner : What is the meaning of al-Qayyum?
The Shaykh : Al-Qayyum has two meanings: He is Self-Subsisting and He is the Sustainer of others. He is Self-Subsisting, needing no one, and He is the Sustainer of others, for everyone needs Allah (Mighty and Majestic). Is that clear?
The questioner : It is clear.
The Shaykh : Is that clear? The time is up, O 'Abd al-Rahman ibn Jum'ah. Do you have Sufis, or do you have Sufis? Yes.
The questioner : I do not have Sufis.
The Shaykh : There are no Sufis. The Sufis are only in worship. No, no, you always talk to me about them.
