AL-BAAQI
(The Ever Surviving One)
The Everlasting, The Eternal, The Ever-Enduring, The Ever-Present
Allah is Al-Baqi, the everlasting. The one who has always existed and who will never cease to be. He is the one whose existence doesn't have a beginning nor an end. The virtue of this name signifies Allah as being perpetual, endless, and everlasting. He will remain forever and unaffected by time.
From the root b-q-y which has the following classical Arabic connotations:
To continue, to remain, and to endure.To be permanent, everlasting and constant.To survive forever, to be eternal.To be incessant, continous, and endless.
Abu Sa'id al-Khudri reported that some people from among the Ansar begged from the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and he gave them. They again begged him and he again gave them, till when what was in his possession was exhausted he said:
Whatever good (riches, goods) I have, I will not withhold it from you. He who refrains from begging Allah safeguards him against want. and he who seeks sufficiency, Allah would keep him in a state of sufficiency, and he who shows endurance. Allah would grant him power to endure, and none is blessed with an endowment better and greater than endurance. (Sahih Muslim Book 12, Hadith 16)
