What does Amen mean?

[scared one]

in islam when they say it what does it mean? when they say after one of the surah al fatahs.

From the Basic Islamic Terms thread:

Ameen
the end of a Dua or prayer
Translation: May it be so

Also used in Christianity in the same way. Do the two uses spring from the same language, I wonder? Is the Christian "amen" an Arabic word?

[nurah19]

salaam it means the end

I've noticed this too. They must stem from the same language, but I don't know if it's Arabic or something else entirely.
