Berkat is the Acehnese noun meaning “blessing” or “divine favor”. It is listed on several pages of the source (e.g., 80, 81) with the simple gloss “(A.)”. In the Burda of al‑Bu‑s‑iri the term is used to denote the benevolent gifts granted by Allah, often contrasted with dosia (sin).

Typical usage includes phrases such as “berkat Allah” (“the blessing of God”) and “memeri karmii, hij schonk gunst” (the verse on granting berkat).

Religious context

Berkat is a central concept in Acehnese Islam, appearing in prayers (do’a), sermons, and poetry to express gratitude and hope for divine assistance.
