getting into a vehicle, ect. It is also found at the beginning of
almost all the surahs in the Qur'an. Al-hamdulillah

to show our gratefulness to Allah. We also say it when we sneeze, in
order to thank Allah for relieving us from our
discomfort. Yarhamuka-Allah
"May Allah have mercy on you" When one
Muslim sneezes and says al-hamdulillah, the other
Muslims present ask Allah to be merciful to him, by saying
yarhamuka-Allah, or

greeting we give when we meet other Muslims. Wa'Alaykum as-Salam
"And may peace also be with you" This is the

love and also our best wishes. We can also return a longer
greeting...saying Wa'Alaykum as-salam wa rahmatullahi wa
barakatuhu. Fi Amanillah

on happy occasions, when hearing good news or when complementing
someone. Insha'Allah

Insha'Allah, remembering that we can only do so with Allah's
help. Astaghfirullah

seek Allah's forgiveness" This is
what we say when we say when we feel sorry for something we thought,
said or done. Jazak-Allah

thank a fellow muslim for something he has done, we can say
Jazak-Allah, asking Allah to reward hime. A'udhubillah
