Shukran

شكراً

Copy Arabic

[Shook-raan]

Quick Summary:

What is the exact meaning of the word Shukran?

The translation of the word shukran in English is ‘thank you’. This is self explanatory, it’s used to show appreciation towards a person who had done a favorable act.

In Islam, it is sunnah to say Jazakallah khair which is said in the same manner as shukran. The difference is Jazakallah khairan means “May Allah reward you [with] goodness” and is a short prayer wishing Allah to reward the person.

This recognizes that nothing can happen without the will of Allah and you’re making a dua on behalf of the person.
