Its meaning is \u201cMay Allah bless you.\u201d The word \u201cBarakah\u201d translates to \u201cblessings\u201d or \u201cto bless\u201d; \u201cAllahu\u201d means \u201cAllah,\u201d and He is the subject (the doer) of the verb. In other words, Allah is the One bestowing the blessings, and \u201cfeek\u201d means \u201cin you.\u201d Putting it all together, the phrase translates to \u201cMay Allah bless in you\u201d or more simply, \u201cMay Allah\u2019s blessings be upon you.\u201d<\/div>\n<h3 class=\"header-iWP5WJ auto-hide-last-sibling-br\">Different Ways to Write It<\/h3>\n<ul class=\"auto-hide-last-sibling-br\">\n<li>barakallahu feek<\/li>\n<li>barak allahu feek<\/li>\n<li>barakallahu fik<\/li>\n<li>barakallahu feekum<\/li>\n<li>barakallahu fiikum<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 class=\"header-iWP5WJ auto-hide-last-sibling-br\">Barakallahu Feek in Arabic<\/h3>\n<div class=\"auto-hide-last-sibling-br paragraph-pP9ZLC paragraph-element br-paragraph-space\">The Arabic script for the phrase is:<\/p>\n<div class=\"container-Uxvbjy md-box-line-break wrapper-GYqxgQ undefined\"><\/div>\n<p>\u0628\u0627\u0631\u0643 \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647 \u0641\u064a\u0643<\/p><\/div>\n<h3 class=\"header-iWP5WJ auto-hide-last-sibling-br\">When to Say Barakallahu Fik<\/h3>\n<div class=\"auto-hide-last-sibling-br paragraph-pP9ZLC paragraph-element br-paragraph-space\">Barakallahu Fik (singular) or Feekum (plural) is often used to express gratitude to another person. While its literal meaning isn\u2019t \u201cthank you,\u201d it\u2019s a heartfelt way to show appreciation by directing Allah\u2019s blessings toward the individual. Traditionally, it is used as a response to someone saying \u201cJazakallah\u201d or \u201cJazakallah Khiran\u201d (both meaning \u201cMay Allah reward you\u201d).<\/div>\n<div class=\"container-Uxvbjy md-box-line-break wrapper-GYqxgQ undefined\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"auto-hide-last-sibling-br paragraph-pP9ZLC paragraph-element br-paragraph-space\">This phrase is also appropriate for congratulating someone on their marriage.
