When I was young catholic masses were said in latin and amen meant in french ainsi soi t'il or in english this is the way it is or something to that effect. It is used in catholic masses still although I no longer consider myself a practicing catholic I believe in the power of that latin word. I think it means as things are, and that you agree with the prayer, if you say amen at the end. I think of myself as a christian meaning following the teachings of our Saviour, Jesus Christ. God bless you for not bashing anyone, I respect you for it.

Amen is not used in the Quran but is used by Muslims who copy Christians and say Ameen, but the only word that sounds ameen in the Arabic of Quran means "trustworthy" and Muslims use this after the Imam recites the Fatiha although there is no evidence of its usage in the Quran, and why "trustworthy" at the end of Fatiha?
Just to sound like Christians I guess, without any respect for Quran but making a mockery of Quran.
Are there really any Muslims who adhere to Quran?

Words don't have a religion. Amen is used in Hebrew and in Arabic both are derived from each other.

Despite very directed interpretations of the Bible, often rooted in Deuteronomy, Spiritism is openly Christian. Several more established denominations refute reincarnation, a central aspect of Spiritism, based on the belief that people lay dormant after their death, awaiting hell or heaven. The central point here is whether the asker is looking for an answer in terms of what the followers of the Spiritist doctrine believe (and they firmly believe in Jesus Christ and his lasting example to humanity) or whether the asker wants to know the opinions from followers of older denominations and whether they are ready to approve of the usage of the "Christian" brand appropriated through their interpretation of scripture.

In Islam, it's pronounced "ahh-meen"
Islam prohibits associating anything with God, and so does the first commandment given to Moses in the bible.
I read that "amen" was of pagan origin, coming from the Egyptian Amun-Ra, (sun god, I think) and people don't like to give up all their old associations when they convert, so "amen" came from "Amun"......... so I have dropped the word altogether from my religious vocabulary, it isn't commanded anywhere to say it, that I know of, and I'd rather not take chances that God wouldn't like a lesser/fake deity associated with Him. If I am mistaken, God will let me know on Judgement Day.

no, the word is not used in all religions. I don't use it in mine, and there are over 1000 different religions and i don't think all of them use the word "amen".

Muslims started using the term amen just recently. It is an attempt to Christianize Islam so as to soften Islam.

All the online dictionaries I checked list Latin, Greek and Hebrew as the etymology for "amen".
