God the Sustainer is a theological term referring to the concept of a God who sustains and upholds everything in existence. It is used mostly in Christian and Islamic theology. It is held that as the creator who gives being and existence to his creatures which he created from nothing, God continues to provide the same being and existence to his creatures which do not have being in themselves. Thus creatures are totally dependent on God and would vanish without his conserving action.
