Can someone please show me how to write Jazaak Allah in Arabic and how to write Jazaak Allah khair in Arabic
 
  • hello Mlesley and welcome to the forum :)
    first, for grammatical reasons the exact pronounciation of this sentence is Jazaaka (or Jazaakum if talking to more than one peron) Allahu khayran and it's written like this
    جزاك/ جزاكم/ الله خيرًا
    jazaaka'llaahu khayran / jazaakumu'llaahu khayran.

    It's means May God reward you with good (things). Some people can sometimes say : jazaaka'llaahu kulla khayrin (which mean : may God reward you with all the good) :)
    جزاك الله كل خير
     
    it helps marking the "liaison" between two words. Try by yourself comparing the pronounciation between besm Allah and bismi'llaah or bismi'llaahi (which is the way we pronounce it, right ?)
    When we transliterate Arabic words into foreign language we try to transliterate them the way they're pronounced more than the way they really look in Arabic. Like this example : the two Arabic words are somewhat merged into one (in the pronounciation of course).
    Another example : al-rahmaan is better be transliterated as ar-rahmaan, because this is the correct way for pronounciation. And so on...
     
    jazaani wa iyyaaka :)
    I think it's better to write the second form, to make sure the expression will be pronounced more accurately by foreigners who don't know Arabic.
