خدا کرے کہ

Expressing a Hope or Blessing

Level 4

خدا کرے کہ → may this happen.

How It Works

خدا کرے کہ literally calls on God to bring about the following situation. It can express a blessing or a heartfelt hope in conversation.

The following verb normally uses the subjunctive: رہے for one third-person subject, رہیں for a respectful addressee or a plural subject, and ہو for a singular state.

This expression has religious wording. Learn it for contexts where that wording fits the speaker; a plain امید ہے کہ sentence can express hope without the same invocation.

Examples (4)

خدا کرے کہ آپ ہمیشہ خوش رہیں۔
May you always be happy.
رہیں matches respectful آپ.
خدا کرے کہ تمہارا سفر آسان ہو۔
May your journey be easy.
The singular journey takes ہو.
خدا کرے کہ سب لوگ خیریت سے پہنچیں۔
May everyone arrive safely.
The plural subject takes پہنچیں.
خدا کرے کہ کل بارش ہو۔
I hope it rains tomorrow.
The speaker expresses a hope rather than forecasting the weather.
