(1) Allah Maheria

There is a common phrase in all walk of lives that we usually say anyone at first, Khuda Tamane’ Neki a’pe’ or Khuda A’pako Neki de’ (May God grant you morality!). Similarly, while addressing the jamat, either by Mukhi/Kamadia or someone, he/she begins with the phrase Allah Maheria (May mercy of Allah be upon you!). The word maheria is a verb, means give peace or pity. Instead, the phrases Hazareen Jamat (Present Jamat) or Moaziz Saameen (Hon’ble Attendants) are also used in the jamats of other countries.

(2) Khana’vadan
