*Jazakallah or Jazakallah Khair?*
[/b][b][b][/b] Understanding Grammar Behind The word "Jazakallah" : 'Jazaak' comes from the root word "jazaa" which according to the popular Arabic English dictionary, Al-Mawrid, has two meanings that are completely opposite to eachother!
Thus, 'jazaa'� can either mean "reward" Or "punishment".
So :"JazakAllah" may either mean "may Allah reward you" or May Allah punish you, while "JazakAllah Khayra" means ... "may Allah reward you with the Best / Good", So the correct way is to say "Jazaakallah khayran" and not just "jazakAllah" or "Jazaak" alone. Though someone might say that the intention by saying jazakallah is the same like jazakallahu khayran, but instead of that, why not use the complete wordings as used by prophet
(peace be upon him) and the sahabas (companions) ? which is "jazakallahukhayran". Jazak Allahu Khayran depending on situation:
Masculine: Jazaka Allahu Khayran
Feminine: Jazaki Allahu Khayran
Plural: Jazakumullahu Khayran
Substitute for Jazakallah khair is "Barakallahu Feek" ( "May the blessings of Allah be upon you."
♛☪ How to Reply to Those who says Jazakallahu khaira to you:
1) Wa Antum fa Jazakumullahu khayran meaning "And you too, May Allah reward to with Khayraat (Goodness)".
✰Evidence from Sunnah: Usayd ibn Hadayr (sahabi) says: I said: O Messenger of Allah ﺟﺰﺍﻙ ﺍﻟﻠﻪ ﺧﻴﺮﺍ [Jazaakallahu
Khayran] The Prophet(peace be upon him ) said: ﻭَﺃَﻧْﺘُﻢْ ﻓَﺠَﺰَﺍﻛُﻢُ ﺍﻟﻠَّﻪُ ﺧﻴﺮًﺍ [Wa Antum Fa Jazakumullahu khayran] And you
too, May Allah reward to with Khayr (Goodness)]. [Albaani has said that the Hadeeh is Saheeh in al-Saheeha 3096, al-Ta'leeqaatul hisaan Al Saheeh ibn Hibbaan 6231]
2) Wa feeka barakallahu / wa feeki barakallahu.
▸ ▹ ► ✰Conclusion✰: It’s a kind suggestion to all Muslims that don’t just be a follower of Prophet (peace be upon him ) name sake but rather by following his sunnah. The correct sunnah is not to say thanks or shukran rather its to say jazakallahu khair or barakAllah feek. and should be replied with Wa Antum fa Jazakumullahu khayran. Lets revive this
sunnah in our lives In sha ALLAH & motivate others to do the same.
