Arabic vocabulary
How to say “the Sustainer” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
اللَّهُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الْحَيُّ الْقَيُّومُ
God—there is no deity except Him, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer.
الْقَيُّومُ — the Sustainer. A second descriptive name with 'the', placed beside the previous title to pile on another attribute of the same subject. Like its neighbour it matches the divine name in definiteness and ending, so the titles read as a continuous string describing one referent.
From: The Verse of the Throne →OpenArabic teaches words like قَيُّومُ through real bilingual reading with native audio and spaced-repetition practice.
