"وَعَلَيْكُمُ ٱلْسَّلام! كَيْفَك يا مُحَمَّد؟"

Translation: And upon you be peace! How are you, Mohamed?

[RemyZolnet]

And peace upon you should be accepted as well

[amir821565]

I thought so too

[ThinkerXT]

It is accepted with the verb to be.

[fallinj]

"And upon you be peace" is very strange in English. "Peace be upon you"would be more accepted.

[redearth329]

I agree. Also, "peace be with you", which is what we actually say. Here, I think the waaw is a "waaw of swearing" and doesn't really mean "and" in English. It's more like "O" (as in "O hark the herald angels sing").

[GrahamWhit324102]

I agree, too. This translation isn't even trying to be idiomatic: nobody says that peace is upon anyone in English. This makes answering these questions into a guessing game: I am supposed to guess how someone who doesn't know English very well would translate the Arabic into English.

[ThinkerXT]

The waaw means indeed "and" and it is not waaw for swearing.

[Bell_Xp]

Indeed! Not sure who is translating the texts for Duo.

[mina822957]

I did the same and it doesnt work here

[HzrKurdistani]

I wrote "And may peace be upon you, how are you Mohamad?" but it considered it wrong

[AbdusSalaa1]

I had the same problem

[j.duo498154]

There is no "كيفك" in formal language, it is very very colloquial. It must be كيف حالك.

Plus the english translation is awkwark, it is a literal translation

[Linda-Lapin]

I agree

[rayman10]

This is a really broken answer

[M.J.Emadi]

Hi your self is also correct.
I haven't heard "upon you be peace"
It is so odd

[BarbaraLeitgeb]

And peace be with you would sound a bit more English.

[MansourAba7]

peace be upon you how are you Mohamed

[EvemarieMo]

I think you are so rigid that it makes me cry! This phrase does not even have a "be" because there is no Arabic equivalent!

[Marta23035]

"And upon you peace" should be an acceptable phrasing, especially because it is a literal translation! Especially when three questions later "وَعَلَيْكُمُ ٱلْسَّلام!" accepted the translation of "And upon you peace".

[jason73043]

other places i dis not write "BE upon,..." and it was correct. Duo needs to get his stuff straight. to BE, or not to BE. lmao. still luv ya though Duo!

[Tish829597]

NO NO NO NO AND NO. There is NO way that ''upon you be peace'' is a correct english sentence.

[Jacob748779]

I wrote on instead of upon, and it was not accepted. Are you kidding?

[Shimon15163]

Why should "and upon you peace" be wrong? There is no "be", it is understood in Arabic, and here it is unnecessary in English as well.

[tfrn]

İt is a weird sentence.

[TeebaAlkub]

They should teach formal dialect

[CeceliaDri1]

Why spell Mohammed with one m when there's a shadda?

[legatrix]

Perhaps because it's a traditional English rendering of the name, and some people still use it.

[fort-riga-com]

دوو غاريب كثيراً!

[amira949759]

Salamo alaikuom end of this ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[fort-riga-com]

اّسف. دوو غريب كثيرا.

[Renyl3]

This is wrong translation. Deliberate

[Dounya_]

Mohammed should be accepted : مُحَمَّد with مَّ

[Furi522725]

Peace be upon you is the right answer it is just a bug

[8dexgqAn]

a very awkward sentence again

[BenMack8]

"... and upon you peace ..." the English translation is catastrophically wrong. 20210407

[Richard363464]

Oh this incredibly irritating site!! "And on you be peace! How are things, Mohamed?" is apparently wrong!!

[JohanDelac354009]

Lucky am, Peace upon be you is also good ..... It sounds strange "upon you be peace" ???

[JohanDelac354009]

why this religious phrases ??

[ElizabethA143423]

'on', 'upon', no difference!
