Understanding Jazakummullahu Khairan

Jazakallah or Jazakallah Khair?

• Grammar Behind The Arabic word “Jazakallah” :

• totally opposite to each other!

• reward you, May Allah give You More “
• or May Allah punish you, Although
• “JazakAllah Khayra” means … “may Allah reward
• you with the Best “, (in this World)

• alone.Although someone might say that the
• intention by saying jazakallah is the same meaning  like
• jazakallahu khayran, but in spite of that, why not
