- Blessed is Allah
Tabarakallah means “blessed is Allah” (or “Allah is full of blessing”). Like Mashallah, people say it when admiring something good, to praise Allah who created it.
In the Quran
After describing the stages of human creation, the Quran says: “fa-tabāraka-llāhu aḥsanu l-khāliqīn”, so blessed is Allah, the best of creators (Quran 23:14). It also says “Blessed is Allah, Lord of the worlds” (Quran 7:54).
Tabarakallah vs Mashallah
Both are said when admiring something. Mashallah (“what Allah has willed”) credits the blessing to Allah’s will; Tabarakallah praises Allah as the source of all blessing. Many people say both: “Mashallah, tabarakallah.” To pray for the blessing to continue, say Allahumma barik.
