	Jean-Christophe 3rd December, 2013 "qaiman" is an "indefinite active participle", but is it singular or plural? I wonder if this word applies just to "Allah" or "the Angels and the owners of knowledge"...
	Abdul Rahman 5th December, 2013 qāiman is singular, and it applies just to Allah
	Syed Raheemullah 30th January, 2014 Remember "angels" and "owners of knowledge" are plural and it will require plural Qaemeena (accusative). Therefore Qaeman is singular and refers to Allah
