Let It Be So !
Its used when we pray ( for e.g. peace, progress, good health etc) and close our prayer saying Amen..... ie. say Let It Be So!
If some one displays desire that he/she is praying for some specific purpose or displays desire that he/she wants to accomplish something we acknowledge it and say Amen... ie. we say Let It Be So!

Amen means yes! You are agreeing to a statement.

Amen is an acronym for the Hebrew of "God is a true king" (e-l melech ne'eman) and is more than agreement, but affirmation that the prayer is to God and is valid. The word also is related to the root for faith (emunah).

As a general rule, you say "amen" whenever someone else says a blessing. It's sort of the Hebrew equivalent of saying "ditto": when you say "amen," it's as if you said the blessing yourself.

After the prayer ends.. we say Amen.. it means that I agreed on the prayer and that i made as a contract with god that i agree on everything said in the prayer.

I was told it means "So Be It"... but it's more of a statement of agreement than anything.

"Amen" means "It is true."
