'''Inshallah''' ( | '''Inshallah''' (Arabic: إن شاء الله; lit. "if Allah wills") is an Islamic devotional phrase found in the Quran and widely used in the Muslim world and throughout Islamic history intended to affirm that [[Allah (God)|Allah]] is directly responsible that has happened in the past and will happen in the future.<ref><small>And never say of anything, "Indeed, I will do that tomorrow," Except [when adding], "If Allah wills." 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."</small> | ||
{{Quran|18|23-24}}</ref> | {{Quran|18|23-24}}</ref> The phrase is employed to express the unknowable nature of the future, due to its being in God's rather than human hands. The phrase has also developed a connotation of positive expectation and is most frequently used to express hope rather than simple uncertainty about a certain event taking place in the future (the phrase is today rarely if ever employed to describe an undesirable future event). | ||
