A crude explanation from the lady said 'it is to restore your life back as with every sneeze the life energy (don't know the correct word) is forced out'.

Will you say "God Bless you" when you fart or burp real hard?

Yes, Jauntie, I know why one says Bless You when someone sneezes...it is from the time of The Plague in England. Sneezing was one of the symptoms so when someone sneezed it could mean they were coming down with the fatal disease.
Soya latte please.

Booth is some new fangled name for it ;)
It's not a telephone 'booth' it's a box (as were the old telephone boxes also!)

Thanks DG. Correct, she used to say 'arahmakumallah'.
Mom_me, when someone sneezes he/she says 'alhamdulillah' (thanks be to Allah). Anyone who heard the sneeze can then say 'arahmakumallah' (Allah have mercy on you). The sneezer then replies 'ajarkumallah' (may Allah bless you)!

If I am not wrong :
Ma Salaam : Good Bye
What is uttered when someone sneezes. There is a blessing which an old lady would say, I am forgetting.
I think Insha'Allah has been defined wrong :)
Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Why, it's a flying Dane!!
perhaps we can add to it...
14. Alhamdulillah asalama (thank Allah you returned safely)- returning from travel, after illness, childbirth...
