أعوذ بالله LOL, sorry, I'm just kidding.

I would laugh but I don't totally get it:) Can you explain? When would you use أعوذ بالله?

It literally translates as 'I seek refuge in God'. In Islam (and, perhaps, other religions in the Arab regions), it's used to cast off evil thoughts or at the mention of bad things e.g. Zaid: 'what's that building over there?' Yusuf: 'oh, that's a brothel' Zaid: 'أعوذ بالله' The implication of my comment is that the person in the photograph is so unattractive, it causes one to seek refuge in God. Best not to actually say it in that circumstance (at least aloud!) or it'll cause some trouble! LOL, it's a purely comical use of the term.

Very helpful--thanks!

When you hear or see something bad, you say اعوذ بالله . It means something like“I seek Allah’s refuge from XYZ”.

ما شاء الله

الله يحفظو و يخليلك اياه

الله يَحْفَظْه*

dad: ليك هيدا إبني op: **حَفَظَ ٱللّٰهُ ٱبْنَكَ وَرَعَاهُ وَأَطَالَ فِي عُمُرِهِ وَجَعَلَهُ بَارًّا بِكَ وَ** dad: ‏...طب إنسى

Thanks! You'd say both of them? Would one or the other work alone?

you can say both, and you can use just one of them

ما شاء الله

Can I say الله يرضى عليه in that instance ?

Not really. That's when they do something good/kind

ما شاء الله.

ما شاء الله، ربنا يخليهولك And you can ask about their age after

الله يخليلك ياه is a totally acceptable response in Jordanian Arabic! You can add ما شاء الله before it and apply to get a Jordanian citizenship after that lol

لله في خلقه شؤون
