The Everlasting • The One Who Never Dies, Never Ends, and Remains When All Else Perishes — Constant, Unchanging, and Forever Worthy of Worship
✨ ROOT MEANING
Arabic root: ب – ق – ي (bāʼ • qāf • yāʼ)
| Word | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Baqiya (بقي) | To remain, endure, last |
| Bāqī (باقي) | One who continues on, stays present, does not cease to exist |
| Al-Bāqī (الباقي) | The One who remains after all else passes, who was before time, and will remain when time ends — untouched by decay, death, or change |
Al-Bāqī is the only One you will never lose. Everything else — health, youth, wealth, family — eventually leaves. But He remains.
📖 QUR’ĀNIC FOUNDATION
While the Name Al-Bāqī does not appear directly as a Name in the Qur’an, it is affirmed through meaning and classical consensus (e.g. reported by Al-Bayhaqī, Al-Ghazālī, and agreed upon by early scholars as a Name of Allah based on Qur’anic principles).
📌 Surah Ar-Raḥmān 55:26–27
“Everyone upon it [the earth] will perish — and there will remain the Face of your Lord, Owner of Majesty and Honor.”
📚 Tafsir (Ibn Kathir, Al-Sa‘di, Al-Qurtubi)**
- This verse captures the essence of Al-Bāqī:
- Everything in existence — no matter how beautiful, powerful, or lasting — will come to an end
- What remains? Only Allah, in His perfect self, face, and majesty
- Al-Sa‘di: “The people of understanding do not cling to what perishes, but attach themselves to what remains.”
When you hold onto Al-Bāqī, you are holding onto the only constant in a dying world.
🪞 Tafhīm (Relatable Understanding)
- You say: “Everything I love fades. What can I trust?”
Al-Bāqī answers: “Trust what never dies. Trust Me.”
📜 HADITH REFERENCE
📌 Sahih al-Bukhari 6428
Narrated by Ibn ʿUmar (may Allah be pleased with him):
The Prophet ﷺ would say in the night prayer:
“O Allah, Lord of Jibrīl, Mīkā’īl, and Isrāfīl… You are the One who never dies, while humans and jinn all die.”
📚 Tafsir (Ibn Hajar, Nawawi)**
- The Prophet ﷺ invoked Allah’s everlasting nature during moments of surrender, loss, and night reflection
- This Name reminds us:
- Death is not chaos — it’s a sign of who remains
- Every separation in this world is temporary, except the union with Al-Bāqī
Worship what outlasts time — Al-Bāqī.
🪞 Tafhīm (Relatable Understanding)
- You whisper: “I’m scared of losing everything.”
Al-Bāqī says: “Everything is borrowed — except Me. I am yours forever, if you want Me.”
🌍 EVIDENCE IN TODAY’S WORLD
1. You’ve Lost People, Places, and Pieces of Yourself — But Still Feel Something Constant
That’s Al-Bāqī — the One who stays even when memories fade.
2. History Destroys Great Empires, Cultures, and Creations — Yet Tawḥīd Remains
Only His name echoes beyond time.
Al-Bāqī outlasts every kingdom.
3. You Feel Emptiness After Every Gain
Because the soul was made to long for what lasts, not what ends.
That longing is your ruh remembering Al-Bāqī.
4. You’ve Been Through Changes — But Something in You Keeps Turning Back to Allah
Even after sin, grief, or distraction.
That’s Al-Bāqī anchoring your soul to what endures.
❤️ EMOTIONAL ANCHORING

He:
- Never dies

- Never changes
- Is always near
Build your life around the One who never fades — Al-Bāqī.
🤲 PERSONALIZED DUʿĀ
(Inspired by Qur’an 55:26–27 and Hadith Bukhari 6428)
Not from the Prophet’s exact words — but drawn from authentic meanings
Yā Bāqī,
Let me love what lasts.
Strip me of what distracts, even if it hurts.
Hold me in the moments of loss — and let Your permanence become my peace.
When everything ends, let me remain with You.
