The meaning of INSHA ALLAH
Insha'Allah (إن شاء الله) is an Arabic term evoked by Muslims to indicate hope for an aforementioned event to occur in the future. The phrase translates into English as "If it is God's will".
The term is also related to another Arabic term, Masha'Allah (ما شاء الله), which means "God has willed it".
This word is often used to indicate a desire to do something that may not actually occur. This also provides wiggle room for someone who may feel obligated to agree to something, but prefer not to do it. In Judaism, B'ezrat Hashem (בעזרת השם) and Im Irtze Hashem (אם ירצה השם) are used for the same reason.
Usage of Insha'Allah derives from Islamic scripture, Surat Al Kahf (18):24 :
إِلَّا أَن يَشَاء اللَّهُ وَاذْكُر رَّبَّكَ إِذَا نَسِيتَ وَقُلْ عَسَى أَن يَهْدِيَنِ رَبِّي لِأَقْرَبَ مِنْ هَذَا رَشَدًا
"And never say of anything, 'I shall do such and such thing tomorrow. Except (with the saying): 'If Allah wills!' And remember your lord when you forget..."
When a person wishes to plan for the future, when he promises, when he makes resolutions, and when he makes a pledge, he makes them with permission and the will of Allah. For this reason, a Muslim uses the Qur'anic instructions by saying "In Sha ' Allah." The meaning of this statement is: "If Allah wills." Muslims are to strive hard and to put their trusts with Allah. They leave the results in the hands of Allah.
If you are a moslem and saying, "Insha Allah" only to satisfy people for a while but you dont have any intention to fulfill it. SHAME ON YOU!!!
