I have a question, I have never heard this word, Jazakal Khair in Pakistan. Not even among Pakistanis here in the U.S. so why is not such a commonly used word here in GS?

The word Jazakallah is used in pakistan, atleast in my family. I was taught to say it when someone gave me water.
Though when i came to the US i was told that Jazakallah itself doesnt mean much, that you have to put Khair infront of it to make it mean something(im getting may allah have rehmat on you?) or that you could even put Shar if u wish someone bad(ive never said that though

Can anyone enlighten me on the meaning of Jazakallah Khair ?
may Allah give u a good reward....
(the actual phrase is in Arabic)
"Our Lord! forgive us our sins and anything we may have done that transgressed our duty; establish our feet firmly and help us against those that resist faith." **Quran(3:147)
JazakAllah Khair
Asalamu Alykum,
Its also used to show you are thankful and only allah(swt) is worthy of rewarding that particular person.
JazakumAllahu Khair
Jazak'Allahu Khaiy'run
