"Praise be to God. The answer to 'how are you?'"

The correct response to kayf halak is alhamdulillah — it means 'I'm fine' but credits the condition to God rather than your own doing. Also used after eating, after a journey, after any good outcome. You'll hear it dozens of times a day from people of all faiths in Dubai.
