Islamic Phrases And It's Arabic Translation

Every Muslim should remember these essential expressions.

Note: Spellings may vary when translated to English

These expressions are mostly singular. For example to say 'Jazak(i) Allahu Khair" to more than one person you would 'Jazakum Allahu Khairan' and to say 'Barak Allahu feek(i)" to more than one person is "Barak Allahu Feekum"

e.g.

Masculine: Jazak Allahu Khair : جزاك اللهُ خيراً

Feminine: Jazaki Allahu Khair : جزاكِ الله خير

Plural: Jazakum Allahu Khair : جزاكم الله خير

It is fine to speak in the masculine tense when speaking to women formally.
