Meaning
Considering all aspects or dimensions of a matter.
Cultural Background
In Iranian business culture, saying a deal is 'az har lahāz' ready implies that all 'Taarof' and technicalities are settled. In Dari, the phrase is also used but sometimes 'az har nigāh' (from every look) is more common in Kabul. Tajik speakers use this phrase but may write it in Cyrillic: 'аз ҳар лиҳоз'. Second-generation Iranians often use this phrase as a direct translation of 'In every way' when speaking Persian at home.
