Arabic translation:Yaasu' yuhibbukum
Explanation:
For Jesus, you can either use Yaasu' -or al-MaseeH (Christ); in Islam/Islamic culture, he is known as 'isa. I would use the plural way of addressing, as above, because it's more common. Other uses are: Yuhibbuka (to a male), yuhibbuki (to a female), yuhibbukumaa (to any two: 2 men, 2 women, man and woman), yuhibbukunna (to 3 females or more). If you a thousand women, and one little boy, the preacher/speaker/whatever can say: Yuhibbukum.

Good luck to you Vic -with or without the proper fonts.

Also, would it be possible for you to email or fax me the phrase in the arabic font (email- [email protected], fax 505-346-9000) ? I know it is asking alot, but would be most helpful. Thanks either way, and God Bless you.

Explanation:
If you is a man, take the first sentence.
If you is a woman, take the second sentence.
As far as the font is concerned, I can send it to you only if I was writing in a floppy disk. As it is not the case, this is not possible in this case.
I hope it will help you.

If it's intended for logo publicity and you want it to be directed to both men and women, this would be the best way to express Jesus loves you in Arabic.
