I found this phrase online and I was curious what it meant.

Ya subhannallah
hayyul Qayyum
Subhannallahi Amma Yassifun
Sallalah wallah Muhammad (Sal.)
Ya Rabbi sali alaihi wa salim

The author is, as far as I know a professing Christian and the child of Sufi converts. He is heavily inspired by islam but proclaims Christian faith.

I guess i'm just curious :p

Thanks.

Ya Subhan Allah: Glory be to Allah /Glorious is Allah (this is said only of God/Allah)

el-Hayy: The Ever Living (one of 99 names/attributes)

el-qayyum: The Provider of All/ The Self Subsisting that provides all (one of 99 names)


Subhan Allah : (same as above) Glory be to Allah /Glorious is Allah

Amma Yassifun: as to what they describe (now usually it depends on context and what comes after. i.e. if talking about about kofar: it means the 'blashpemy/ignorance...' of what they say; if talking about believers: then the good stuff and the praise to God. If what comes in next line is part of it, then could be inferred that referring to the Prophet (PBUH) ...depends on context

Sallah Allahu ala Muhammed: May Allah send blessings and peace upon the Prophet

Ya Rabbi: addressing God

Salah Allah aliyh wa salam: (same as above): May Allah send blessings and peace upon the Prophet
