Talk:Alhamdulillah

Shouldn't this be moved to Wiktionary? Or even deleted? Jwrosenzweig 22:58, 19 Aug 2003 (UTC)

We have many options but, if Alhumdulilah were to stay on Wikipedia, it would need to be moved to Alhamdulillah (the correct spelling). It should be on Wiktionary, yes. Also, we cannot just delete any short stubs. We must hope more people take interest in developing Wiki's stub articles (see Find or fix a stub), a very rewarding but also difficult and boring task for contributors. Take care.

Thanks This Helped Me Alot!


 * I think it's fine here, since alhamdulillah is more than just an expression. Basawala 01:25, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

ERROR: This page states the following definitions: Ar-Rahman (The Merciful) Ar-Raheem (The Beneficent)

This is an error and the definitions for these two are mixed up. The correct definitions are the opposite: Ar-Rahman (The Beneficent) Ar-Raheem (The Merciful)

Please correct this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.16.135.193 (talk) 17:33, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

It is my understanding that the 'People of the Book' generally refers to only Muslims, Christians and Jews, and not Zoroastrians as THIS article claims. Shouldn't it be corrected? Made of nguyen (talk) 05:23, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

How to call that link
Am I the only one that thinks "Health benefits of saying Alhamdulillah" is a terrible name for a link on Wikipedia? Yes, the article it leads to has this as a headline - but it seems so unscientific to me (making it sound as if it were scientifically true, instead of a religious belief). Is there a way to add a disclaimer or something? --Rautermann (talk) 00:57, 9 February 2017 (UTC)

Definite article
It would improve the entry a great deal to add the grammatical reason for the appearance of the definite article. --Backinstadiums (talk) 16:52, 12 June 2017 (UTC)

Colloquial use
In a recent essay, Haroon Moghul mentions a colloquial usage of Alhamdulillah, which he implies is universal in Muslim countries. The precise quotation is, "I did the Muslim equivalent of throwing my hands in the air. "Alhamdulillah," I said — Arabic for, Praise the Lord." (Whole essay here: http://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2017/09/26/553712758/an-encounter-at-a-passport-checkpoint-offers-respite-from-depressions-grip.) If accurate, this context should be added to the article. I won't do it myself, because I don't speak Arabic and some who know more about this might not agree that this is as common as Haroon suggests. Laodah 23:59, 4 November 2017 (UTC)


 * Yes, colloquially alhamdulillah can be used as an answer to "How are you?" or "How's the family?", meaning little more than "Fine, thanks." Maybe someone can cite a beginners' Arabic textook as a source. (My Arabic class used the teacher's own matzerials.) Wegesrand (talk) 10:39, 14 March 2018 (UTC)
