In Islamic tradition, it is recommended to say “Yarhamuk Allah” (يَرْحَمُكَ اللهُ) to someone who sneezes, as a way of offering a supplication or blessing for them. The phrase “Yarhamuk Allah” means “May Allah have mercy on you.”
If someone sneezes multiple times in succession, it is generally considered courteous to say “Yarhamuk Allah” each time they sneeze. This practice reflects the Islamic etiquette of responding to a sneeze with a prayer for God’s mercy and blessings.
Here’s a typical exchange:
- When someone sneezes, they say “Alhamdulillah” (الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ), which means “Praise be to Allah.”
- In response, you can say “Yarhamuk Allah,” which means “May Allah have mercy on you.”
- If the person sneezes again, you can repeat the process by saying “Yarhamuk Allah” again.
This is a simple act of courtesy and good manners in Islam and is often practiced by Muslims as a way to show care and concern for one another.
