                    Salam alaikum,

Every muslim should remember these essential expressions.
Note: Spellings may vary when translated to English
These expressions are mostly singular.  For example to say Allah baraka fiki to more than one person you would say Allah baraka fikum and as sister tathbeet noted to say Jazak Allah khieran for more than one person would be Jazakahu Allah khieran and so on.  It is fine to speak in the masculine tense when speaking to women formaly.

                    A few more:
Tawakkal-tu-Allah rely on Allah solving a problem

Tawkkalna-Alai-Allah - we have put our trust in Allah - waiting for a problem to be solved

Rahmah Allah - Allah have Mercy on him - you see someone in distress

Na'uzhu-bi-Allah - we seek refuge in Allah - showing your dislike

Fe Sabeel Allah - in/for Allah's cause/way - you give charity/help people

Atqaa Allah fear Allah you see someone doing a bad deed

Hayyak Allah - Allah maintain your life - you greet someone

Hasbi Allah - Allah will suffice me - you are in a difficult situation

Azhak Allah sinnaka - May Allah keep you cheerful - you seek another Muslim with cheerful countenance

                    lol sister_sarah,
I think what she means is to bump the post up so that people can keep reading it. Instead of looking through all the posts.

Masha'allah Bedrya

Assalamalikum

                    Well I dont actually know what a 'sticky' is, in this forum, but yes, those are some helpful reminders. One of the big problems I have in studying Islam, trying to remember all these various Arabic terms, as English is my primary language and my memory is not very good! I have tried taping Arabic words all over the house, purchased  'learn Arabic' audio-cassette lessons, and still am not getting these words down! This list will likely get posted on my wall somewhere. Maybe that will help?
