Answer 3

Hi,

Jazak Allah Khair is a supplication Muslims say it to someone did something good to you or has a favor upon you.

جَزَاكَ اللهُ خَيْرًا means ( May Allah reward you ). It's for singular male.

جَزَاكِ اللهُ خَيْرًا means ( May Allah reward you ). It's for singular female.

جَزَاكُمْ اللهُ خَيْرًا means ( May Allah reward you ) for group of people (plural) male and female.

جَزَاكُنَّ اللهُ خَيْرًا means ( May Allah reward you ) for plural female only.

جَزَاهُ اللهُ خَيْرًا means ( May Allah reward him ) for absent male.

جَزَاهَا اللهُ خَيْرًا means ( May Allah reward her ) for absent female.

We change the attached pronoun at the end of the verb جَزَا according to the one we talk to or talk about.

Best regards!

Hello there Van!

The usage of **Jazak Allah Khair** is a actually really close to saying "Thank you" in English. **Jazak Allah Khair** means "May Allah give you something good" or "May Allah bless you with what is good". It is best used when thanking someone for something good that they have done for you. It is actually a really wonderful people to thank people because you are thanking them and praying for them at the same time! The only restrictions that comes to mind are using it when someone has done something forbidden in Islam, I.E Haram, and you use it. For example, if someone buys pork meat or Alcoholic beverages to another person, he won't tell him **Jazak Allah Khair**. Hope that answers all of your questions.
