كيف حالك ؟ How are you? (to a man) chi:f ha:lak

كيف حالك ؟ How are you? (to a woman) chi:f Ha:lki

كيف حالكم ؟ How are you doing? (plural) chi:f Ha:lkum

Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, said: “You will not enter Paradise until you believe, and you will not believe until you begin to love one another. So why don't I point you to what will lead you to mutual love if you will do it? Spread greetings among yourselves!” (Muslim)

salam(Arabic سلام‎‎ - peace) - this is how Muslims greet each other in some countries. Moreover, this way they can greet Muslims and among themselves and representatives of other religions.

Adaby greetings

1. Be generous with greetings. Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, was never stingy with greetings. In a transmission from Abdullah bin Amr: “The Prophet was asked: “O Messenger of the Almighty! What is the best in Islam?”. "The best thing is if you feed the hungry, greet both acquaintances and strangers," the Prophet replied.

2. Be sure to answer the greeting. “Salam” is also a dua (prayer) uttered by the tongue and coming from the heart, and it is imperative to respond to those who wish you peace, mercy and blessings.

3. According to the Qur'an, Muslims are required to respond to a greeting using no less words than the one who greeted first.

“When you are greeted, respond with an even better greeting or the same one. Verily, Allah counts every thing.”

Holy Koran. Sura 4 "An-Nisa" / "Women", verse 86

4. Muslims greet each other even if they are in a quarrel. The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: “When two Muslims meet, then let them greet each other, and if there is a quarrel or enmity between them, then let them also greet each other” (Abu Dawud).

5. The first to greet: the elder - the youngest, the city dweller - a villager, the rider - on foot, standing - sitting, the owner - a servant, the father - his son, the mother - his daughter. The Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, said: “The rider (should be the first) to greet the pedestrian, the walking one, the seated one, and the smaller (in terms of the number of people) the larger one” (Al-Bukhari, Muslim).

6. The Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, said: “Let the newly arrived from among you greet those present and let the one who leaves you also greet those who remain. And it does not surpass the first greeting in importance to the last.

7. Before greeting people in the mosque, Muslims must pray tahiyat l-masjid (greeting the mosque).

8. Muslims should not be the first to greet:

• Men - unfamiliar girls, young women
• Reading a prayer (namaz), a sermon (khutba) or the Koran
• Making remembrance of Allah (dhikr) or preaching a sermon
• Muezzin calling to prayer (adhan or iqamah)
• Taking food or expelling natural needs
• The person who commits sin

Allah Almighty knows best

official language of the United United Arab Emirates is Arabic. As in everything modern world in tourist and business areas is also widely used English language. It is not uncommon to meet people who understand French. Since a large number of expatriates who are not native speakers of Arabic came to work in the country, you can hear the dialect in Hindi (the state language of India), Urdu (Pakistan), Bengali (Bangladesh), Farsi (Iran), Tagalog (Philippines), Malayam (India) and Punjabi (India).

But the increasing flow of Russian tourists is also doing a good deed - in many self-respecting hotels, shopping centers and some small shops (mainly in Nasser Square), Russian is understood, which cannot but please lazy or hard-to-learn English tourists from post-Soviet space. Signs are also beginning to adapt to Russian-speaking travelers - cunning merchants are happy to try in any way to make themselves known and attract buyers, although most of the signs are still broadcast in two languages ​​- Arabic and English.

There are no problems with numbers either. Along with the official Hindu-Arabic numerals for the Emirates

very vaguely reminiscent of signs familiar to us, traditional Arabic numerals are widely used, understandable to every European.

As for the purity of speech, there are big problems with this in the UAE. In literary Arabic - fush, they speak only in the mass media. It may very well be that the cream of the Emirati society also speak this language, but do not use it daily. Basically, all communication takes place in Dinglish - the so-called Dubai English, in which everything is mixed.

If, nevertheless, there is a great desire to show off at least a superficial knowledge of Arabic, then below is a list of words and phrases that are often used in the tourist zone.
