What is 'Jazakallahu Khairan'?
A2ALike all answers mentioned;Jazaka Allahu Khairan (J A k) ًجزاك اللهُ خيرا stands for:“May Allah reward you with good, or goodness”Jazaka, جزاك : reward youALLAHu, ُ الله : God; the u stands for the grammar diacritics of the Dammah ُ ,case for active subject.Khairan ًخيرا : good, goodness.In general expressing thanks for any subject is to say Shukran شكرا .While the phrase/idiom of JAK is in particular used among Muslims, as an expression of gratitude for a fellow Muslim/s who have done you good or a favour that mostly you can't repay.It is worth while mentioning overhere the following:The very first verses of Qur'an start with “Al Hamdu lilah Rab Al Alamin” (Thanks and gratitude to the Lord of the worlds)Muslims in general are known as أمة الحمادون “nation of thankers and gratitude to the Lord" and it is their banner on day of judgement. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "I am the master of the children of Adam on the Day of Judgement, and I am not boasting. The Banner of thanks and gratitude will be in my hand, and I am not boasting. There will not be a Prophet on that day, not Adam nor anyone other than him, except that he will be under my banner. And I am the first one for whom the earth will be opened for, and I am not bragging." (hassan, Tirmidhi; 3615)Prophet Mohammad urged Muslims to thank people in general (لا يشكر الله من لا يشكر الناس) "Allah does not thank the person who does not thank people." (sahih, Bukhari’s Adab Mufrad)And said: “If anyone seeks protection in Allah's name, grant him protection; if anyone begs in Allah's name, give him something; if anyone gives you an invitation, accept it; and if anyone does you a favor, recompense him; but if you have not the means to do so, pray for him until you feel that you have compensated him" (sahih, Abu Dawud).And said: "Whoever some good was done to him, and he says: 'May Allah reward you in goodness' then he has done the most that he can of praise." (sahih, Tirmidhi: 2035)Saying “Jazak Allahu Khairan” is one form of praying to those who do us favors!
What is the meaning the phrase - "Yalla Habibi"?
Thanks for A2AWhile all answers explained Habibi quite well, which as put in above phrase means “My Dear” French “Mon Cheri”! But put alone means “My Love” from “Habib” حبيب, which is masculine for “Beloved one” it can be used for both genders, while “Habiba” حبيبة is specifically feminine.However none has touched the acronym Yalla! What dose it actually stands for?Yalla is a slang derived from Ya Arabic يا defined as a calling letter ‘حرف نداء’ such as in Ya-hoo and Halelu-Jah (both are Arabic, explaining later,) and Alla which is exactly what it sounds, From Allah الله Arabic for God.Arabs use the phase Ya Allah quite frequently, all the time, as a motivation, to act, to do something, to move, to speak up, etc… over the time and for ease of speech it became as Yalla.Put together, the phrase Yalla Habibi is simply Come on Dear.Back to example words:Yahoo Arabic ‘يا هو’ is used same as in English, as an exclamation, or calling upon common public. ‘هو’ means He and is often used (by Sufis) to denote Allah so ‘يا هو’ could implicate saying Oh God. However Levantine communities say ‘يا عالم يا هو’ to metaphorically call upon the public in case of an illogical, an unaccepted argument, or to point out something dramatic.Now the interesting word Halelujah which is used in churches, prayers, songs… one could argue it’s Hebrew, Aramaic. But it’s also pure Arabic ‘هللو يا’ (all three languages share many similar root words.) ‘هللو’ is a verb in Arabic, an imperative to praise the Lord, God, Allah. Referred to by the adverb تهليل for saying the phrase La Ilaha Ila Allah. And ‘Jah’ or better Ya, is a proof of the original pronunciation of letter J to be Y.So the phrase هللو يا Halelu Ya is calling among the people to praise the Lord, God, by saying There is no God but Him or as in Arabic but Allah.Hope the use of Ya, Alla, Halelu, and Ya hoo, in Arabic is clear.

How do I respond when someone says mashallah?
“Mashallah” translates to “what Allah has willed has happened", or something similar. It is said by Muslims, male and female alike, as an expression of joy, praise, and gratitude to Allah (subhanahu wa ta'ala).An example would be when visiting a friend's house, a Muslim might say “you have a nice house, mashallah”, or something similar.Other situations where this might be used include when somebody gives birth, gets married, or gets a new job.There isn't any generally accepted response that I am aware of. A common response might be something like “Jazak Allahu Khayran", which translates roughly to “May Allah reward you with good”.Allah (subhanahu wa ta'ala) knows best. All praise and worship be only to Allah (subhanahu wa ta'ala).
Any Arabic Language specialists outthere? Help?
Firstly, I am writing this in normal Arabic script (read from right to left): "نادي عليا مظهر العجائب تجده عونا لك في النوائب بفضل الله كل هما وغما سينجلي بولايتك يا علي ياعلي ياعلي فيها بعد محمد " The transliteration: "Nadi A'aliyyan muzhiru al-a'ajaibi, tajidahu a'awnan lak fil nawaibi, bi fadl Allahi kul hammun wa ghamun sayanjali, biwilayatika ya Ali, ya Ali." Translation: "Call on Ali (meaning Ali Ibn Abu Taleb, the fourth Khalif after the prophet, and for Shia the martyred saint they follow) who performs miracles, and you will find help in him in hardship. With God's assistance, your troubles and sadness will disperse with your help, oh Ali, oh Ali". Then there is the word Mohammed. Hope that helps. It is a beautiful specimen of Shia calligraphy. I think it is a "dua'a" (sort of prayer for help)
In Arabic, how do you say, "Thank you, my friend"?
The literal translation would be:“thank you”: Shukraan, “my friend”: sadikee (if male), sadikatee (if female)However, Arabic language is semantically super rich, and grammatically so detailed, and it is possible to express the same expression in different ways. For instance, in my previous illustration on how to translate the expression “thank you, my friend”, I omitted the subject “you” because the Arabic language itself allows that. If I want to emphasize on whom I am addressing to (here is my friend) , we would have this now:“thank”: Shukraan, “you”: lakaa (if male), lakee (if female), “my friend”: sadikee (if male), sadikatee (if female)Furthermore, if I wanna emphasis on whom I am talking to and s/he is not relatively close to me, I would add “ya”:“thank”: Shukraan, “you”: lakaa (if male), lakee (if female), ya (if a single person) “my friend”: sadikee (if male), sadikatee (if female)
How do you respond when a Muslim guy says 'Mashallah' to you (a Muslimah)?
This is basically a guy whistling at a girl to get her attention. Reminds me of the Chappelle Show’s “holla guy” who kept telling people, “hey, can I Holla at you?”This guy is basically using a low energy tactic to Gauge your interest.The best tactic is probably to ignore him. Do not engage. But, if this is someone you see all the time and you feel uncomfortable, then that might not be a good enough strategy.It requires some bravery, but you can tell him directly “Please refrain from complimenting me. Perhaps you think this makes me feel good. But actually, it makes me feel uncomfortable. I expect to be treated with respect and I expect this behavior to stop.” If he is a sensible person, he’ll realize that you are not interested and the continuation of his behavior will be seen, appropriately, as an escalation and he’ll stop. If he continues to persist after that, then you need to raise the issue with your parents, boss, Imam, etc.That said, if this is a random guy you don’t know and will only see once saying this, then it is probably best to ignore him and move on. Not worth the wasted breath for someone you may never see again.
