Frequently asked questions
How do you wish someone good luck in a nice way?
Mention the event and their effort: "Good luck in your exam tomorrow! You've studied so hard and I know you'll do great."
What is a dua for exams?
"Rabbi yassir wa la tu'assir" (My Lord, make it easy and not difficult) and "Rabbi zidni ilma" (My Lord, increase me in knowledge) are two short duas many students read.
Is "best of luck" or "good luck" more formal?
Both are fine. "Best of luck" or "I wish you every success" sounds slightly more formal for work emails.
What do you say instead of good luck?
"You've got this", "All the best", "I'm rooting for you" or "Break a leg" (for performances) all work.
