Rewarded with good Explanation: معوض literally is the "object" of the Arabic verb To substitute, To reward or To compensate: بدّل - كافأ - عوّض خير means "good" or "goodness". معوض خير: is a good wish that someone wishes to another one. With إن شاء الله, it means that the speaker is wishing God to reward the addressed person with good for something he/she has done. It would take an English pattern like: "May God reward you with good". More literal would be something like: "May you be rewarded with good, God wiling". معوض is also a masculine Arabic name for some people. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 11 hrs (2019-07-17 22:20:52 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Object or adjective*. In English it would be called an adjective, in Arabic it's counted as an object, I believe. https://www.almaany.com/en/dict/ar-en/%D8%A7%D9%86-%D8%B4%D8%A7%D8%A1-%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%84%D9%87/ https://www.almaany.com/en/dict/ar-en/%D8%B9%D9%88%D8%B6/ |
