Here are a few expressions used in my town to express gratitude for a favor:
1. JAZAKUM ALLAHU KHAYRAN
جزاكم الله خيراً
2. JAZAKUM ALLAHU KHAYR AL-JAZA
جزاكم الله خير الجزاء
3. SHAKARA ALLAHU LAKUM AL-SA’Y
شكر الله لكم السعي
4. SHAKARA ALLAHU SA’YAKUM
شكر الله سعيكم
Too bad these expressions are dying out in many regions. I am partial to these expressions because of their richness and authenticity. For someone who just wants a quick, all-purpose thank-you, these phrases may be too cumbersome. SHUKRAN would then be the standby phrase.
