In sha' Allah, in Arabic إن شاء الله, is an Islamic phrase used not only by Arab Muslims, but also by English-speaking Muslims. The literal meaning of "in sha' Allah" is "if wills God" and Muslims have to (because of verses 18:23-24) say this phrase whenever they say their plan to do something.
The phrase in Arabic
With diacritics it is written as:
- إِن شَاءَ اللَّهُ
In the old Qur'anic Uthmani script, the شَاءَ is written with alif maddah:
- إِن شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ
The three words are:
- إِن - in - (a particle) if
- شَاءَ - sha' - (3rd person perfect verb) wills [1]
- اللَّهُ - Allah - (proper noun) God
The three letters in شَاءَ are:
- ش - shin
- ا - alif
- ء - hamza
Hamza is read as a glottal stop (closing the throat), which is indicated by the apostrophe "In sha' Allah".
The root of شَاءَ is شيا.
Some Muslims write in and sha together, so they get insha. انشاء الله (insha' Allah) means "we created/invented Allah" (insha is from a different root نشا). So by writing in and sha' together they proclaim that Allah is a man-made god. [2]
In the Qur'an
The verses 18:23-24 are the most important since they command Muslims to say in sha Allah. The verse 18:24 actually says أَن يَشَآءَ ٱللَّهُ (an yasha' Allah) and not ان شاء الله (in sha' allah):
18:23 And never say of anything, "Indeed, I will do that tomorrow,"
18:24 Except [when adding], "If Allah wills." (أَن يَشَآءَ ٱللَّهُ) And remember your Lord when you forget [it] and say, "Perhaps my Lord will guide me to what is nearer than this to right conduct."These verses say in sha Allah. Shakir translates the phrase as "if Allah pleases":
In the Qur'an sometimes it is also written as "law sha Allah" (لَوْ شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ):
