There's the word "Ameen" (آمين). I don't know whether it's entirely equivalent. See also http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amen#Amen_in_Islam . (I once had a Qur'an recited by a singer(?), which included "Ameen" at the end of Sura 1 Al-Fateha, but it's not part of the written text.) Cheers, -- Philip Newton <philip.newton@...>
