Amen (Hebrew: אָמֵן‎, ʾāmēn; Ancient Greek: ἀμήν, amên; Arabic: آمین‎, āmīn(a); Aramaic/Classical Syriac: ܐܡܝܢ‎, 'amīn) is an Abrahamic declaration of affirmation first found in the Hebrew Bible, and subsequently in the New Testament. It is used in Jewish, Christian and Islamic worship, as a concluding word, or as a response to a prayer. Common English translations of the word amen include "verily", "truly", "it is true", and "let it be so". It is also used colloquially, to express strong agreement.
