Sometimes and some people speak to me with Arabic phrase . Like hayyakallah, barakallahu, etc. But to be honest, I do not how what it means, and I don't know how to answer it. And the thing that I can do is smiling. But, it is really embarrassing me .
So, could someone list the Arabic or Islamic phrase like I mentioned above with the meaning and how to answer it?
Bro, i might be wrong... but I think Hayyaakallah means May Allah prolong your life, I'm not sure how you reply to this.. perhaps you could say the same :><:
And generally people say barakallah feek. You can reply by saying wa feeka (feeki) baarakallah. Basically means may Allah bless you.
what does 'hayyakallah' mean? How to respone it? And when do we say that?

"Hayyak Allah" mean (Allah maintain your life) its is usually said, while greeting someone. It can be reply by saying "Allah Ye-hay-yeek!" الله يحييك
