An Arabic Phrase - Some guy said this to me, I think it's arabic (not sure) and I was wondering what it meant. Sorry, I only hear it so I'm going to write it as it would be written in English

La-he la- ha e-la-la

Sorry if I miss spelled or mis remembered it...

The Expression - Dear My friend
This expression is a Muslim Expression, meaning that there's no god other than allah. Here is the correct form of it:
Laa ela-ha el-lal-la

Thank you so much! - Thank you so much!

Is it a type of greeting or just a religous phrase?

welcome - It is actually a religous phrase, but some say it on coming across something amazing, so that it means that = It is only Allah ( our God) who can do something like that.

- And itīs also the sentence said when one embraces Islamīs faith. Once he-she says this sentence and previously was a non muslim, it means he-she has become Muslim...

:-) - my husband usually use "laa elah el allah" as "oh, my God!!"
So if I do something stupid or I disturb him - he just looks into the sky :-) and tell this.
It is one of the funny usage of this phrase.

- if it goes with an angry tune.. that means that u disturbed him/her..
or if he/she couldnt get what he/she wanted.. & is impatient to find it, it is also said.. its a kind of calming your temper down..
though im not muslim, but some beliefs in different religions are really amazing for me..remembering God whenever you are angry makes you calm down :)

when becoming a muslim they say "ash-hadu an la elaha ella allah" which means "i know that there is no other but one god"..some go for an addition "wa anna muhammadan rasul allah" which means "& muhammed is his prophet"
