Alhamdulillah ala kulli hal “All praise and thanks are only for Allah in all circumstances”
Jalla Allahu fi ‘Oulah “Glorified is Allah in His loftiness”
Allahumma Barik “May Allah Bless You”.
“Barakallahu feek” is an Arabic phrase that means “May Allah bless you”. It is used by Muslims to express thanks to someone.
Barakallahu feeki: Used when addressing a female
Allahumma Barrik lahu: Used when addressing a male as a third person
Barakallahu feekum: A variation of the phrase
A response to “Barakallahu feek” is “Wa Feeka BarakAllah” for a male or “Wa Feeki BarakAllah” for a female, which means “And may Allah bless you (too)”.
The word “Barakah” means “blessings” or “to bless,” and “Allahu” means “Allah”. “Feek” means “in you”.
“Allahu Musta’an” is an Arabic phrase that means "The One whose help is sought". It is used by Muslims in difficult times to ask Allah for assistance. The phrase appears twice in the Quran.
The word “Musta’aan” comes from the root ayn-waaw-noon, which has multiple meanings: To ask for help, To aid or help others, and To be middle-aged.
The root ayn-waaw-noon appears in the Quran in five derived forms, including: Wa a’aanahu (“and helped him”), Ta’aawanoo (“help one another”), Nasta’eenu (“we ask for help”), and ‘Awanun (“middle-aged”).
Fasiq (Arabic: فاسق fāsiq) is an Arabic term referring to someone who violates Islamic law. As a fasiq is considered unreliable, his testimony is not accepted in Islamic courts. The terms fasiq and fisq are sometime rendered as “impious”, “venial sinner”, or “depraved”. Constant committing of minor sins or the major sins that do not require greater punishment, which are described as wickedness in fiqh terminology, are punished by the judge’s discretion, without a certain limit and measure.
