اللَّهُ لَا إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الْحَيُّ الْقَيُّومُ
3:2 This verse is a part of Âyat al-Kursî (آيات الكرسي) - “the verse of knowledge” mentioned in Al-Baqarah البقرة (2:255). These words are not only a reminder, but also refer to the main subject matter of this chapter that Allâh alone is the Ever-Living (الْحَيُّ) and no human being or any other deity can claim this Attribute. All others raised to a level of divinity are dead. It is only Allâh Who perceives, and under Whose perception none of the perceived things can escape. He is the Self-Subsisting (الْقَيُّومُ). He is the only Existence whose essence would suffice for itself and not be conditioned by the existence of another. Jesus or others raised to the level of divinity remain in need of specific conditions for their existence.
