WHAT DOES MASHALLAH MEAN IN ENGLISH?

mashallah

Mashallah ibn Athari

Masha'allah ibn Atharī was an eighth-century Persian Jewish astrologer and astronomer from the city of Basra who became the leading astrologer of the late 8th century. According to Ibn al-Nadim in his Fihrist, Mashallah was "a man of distinction and during his period the leading person for the science of judgments of the stars". The Arabic phrase ma sha`a allah indicates acceptance of what God has ordained in terms of good or ill fortune that may befall a believer. Ibn al-Nadim said Mashallah's name was Mīshā, meaning Yithro. Latin translators also called him Messahala. The crater Messala on the Moon is named after him. Science historian Donald Hill writes that Mashallah was originally from Khorasan.
