The best way to say goodnight in Islam is to say "Tusbih 'ala khair (تصبح على خير)".
This phrase translates to "May you wake up to good" or "May you have a good morning." It's a common and respectful way to wish someone a good night in Arabic-speaking Muslim communities.
Other similar phrases you might hear include:
- Tisbah ala kher (تصبح على خير) - A slightly different transliteration of the same phrase.
While simply saying "goodnight" is perfectly acceptable, using "Tusbih 'ala khair" is a culturally relevant and spiritually meaningful way to wish someone well before they sleep. There isn't a specific religious requirement mandating this exact phrase, but it's a beautiful tradition rooted in wishing goodness upon others.
