If you came here to check the spelling before sending a message, the Arabic and Urdu forms are in the first two sections.

How to write your own may allah bless you in three steps
- Match the form to the person. Feek for a man, feeki for a woman, feekum for a group – getting this right is the single most noticed detail in the Arabic.
- Say what the blessing is for. May Allah bless you in your new job is stronger than may Allah bless you on its own, because a dua is more meaningful when it is specific.
- Reply rather than just receive. Wa feeka barakallah or ameen wa iyyakum returns the dua, which is the expected response.
What does barakah actually mean?
Barakah is usually translated as blessing, but the closer sense is increase or growth placed by God in something – time, wealth, health or effort – so that a small amount goes further than it should. That is why the dua is used for income, marriages and children rather than only as a polite greeting. The root b-r-k appears throughout the tradition of dua in Islam and carries this same idea of something being made fruitful, which is also why the word for kneeling and settling shares the root.
