'''Inshallah''' (also written as in sha' Allah or insha'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. | |||

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. <ref>Insha is used in the Qur'an.
