When I was young, I used to translate some things word for word from english to arabic.
So, "al 7amdulilah" would become "good", as an answer to "how are you?".
One day I was feeling ill, a long time ago, and my uncle Bilal called. So he asks me,
"Keef 7alak?"
Since I was ill, I wanted something close to,
"Not really good."
So I answer,
"Mish il 7amdulilah."
