Jazāk Allāh (Arabic:جَزَاكَ ٱللَّٰهُ,jazāka -llāh) orJazāk Allāhu Khayran (جَزَاكَ ٱللَّٰهُ خَيْرًا,jazāka -llāhu khayran) is anArabic expression of gratitude, meaning "May God reward you [with] goodness."[1][2][3]
Although the common word for thanks in Arabic isshukran[4](شُكْرًا),Jazāk Allāh khayran is often used byMuslims, regardless of ethnicity.
The response to this phrase iswa ʾiyyāk(i) (وَإِيَّاكَ), orwa ʾiyyākum (وَإِيَّاكُمْ) for the plural, which means "and to you". A more formal reply is "wa ʾantum fajazākumu llāhu khayran" (وَأَنْتُمْ فَجَزَاكُمُ ٱللَّٰهُ خَيْرًا) "And you too, may God reward you with goodness".
