Jazak Allahu Khayran (جزاك اللهُ خيرًا)

Jazak Allah (Arabic: جزاك اللهُ‎) or Jazak Allahu Khayran (جزاك اللهُ خيرًا) is a term used as an Islamic expression of gratitude meaning "May Allah reward you [with] goodness." Allah is the Arabic word for God.

One of the best forms of du’aa’ for the one who has done you a favour is that which is mentioned in the Sunnah:

The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Whoever has a favour done for him and says to the one who did it, ‘Jazak Allaahu khayran,’ has done enough to thank him.”

[Narrated by al-Tirmidhi, 1958 & 2035; Abu Dawood (1672) and by al-Nasaa’i in al-Sunan al-Kubra (6/53); classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Tirmidhi.]

How to Reply to Those who says Jazakallahu khair to you:

1) Wa Antum fa Jazakumullahu khayran meaning (وَأَنْتُمْ فَجَزَاكُمُ اللَّهُ خَيْرًا)"And you too, May Allah reward to with Khayr"

✰Evidence from Sunnah:

Usayd ibn Hadayr (sahabi) says: I said: O Messenger of Allah جزاك الله خيرا [Jazaakallhu Khayran]

The Prophet(pbuh) said: وَأَنْتُمْ فَجَزَاكُمُ اللَّهُ خَيْرًا [Wa Antum Fa Jazakumullahu khayran] And you too, May Allah reward to with Khayr].

[Shaykh al-Albaany has said that the Hadeeh is Saheeh. al-Saheeha 3096, al-Ta'leeqaatul hisaan al Saheeh ibn Hibbaan 6231]

2) Wa iyyakum (وإياكم)” meaning “And goodness to you also”

✰This is the one the common message used by people. Muslims can use this phrase sometimes, and abandon it sometimes, but they must not cling to it as if it is an established Sunnah of the Messenger since there is no evidence related to it.

Although the common Arabic word for thanks is shukran (شكرًا), jazak allahu khayran is often used by Muslims instead, in the belief that one cannot repay a person enough, and that Allah is able to reward a person the best. Often the response to jazak allahu khayran is wa ʾiyyakum (وإيّاكم), which means "And to you". A more formal reply is "w-antum fa-jazakum allahu khayran" (وَٱنْتُمْ فَجَزَاكُمُ اللَّهُ خَيْرًا) which means "And you too, may Allah reward you with goodness"
