Praising Allah Ta'ala in another language
Question
Is it better to praise Allah Ta'ala in Arabic or my own language?
Answer
In a language that you can understand better. However, if there is a masnoon dua and it contains the praises of Allah Ta`ala then say it with the very Arabic words. Like when a person sneezes, you say, "Alhamdulillah". So say it in Arabic.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
