INSALLAH??
In reading through the many threads in this Forum I have noticed the term "Insallah" used quite often. Please excuse my ignorance, but could somebody please tell me what the meaning of this term is and in what context it is used? Igather that it is some form of greeting, or am I mistaken?
I look forward to an explanation.
No have not been there not a big football fan more of a rugby girl but as i am still new out of england and used to run pubs i had to listen to everyone go on about it and had to play all games!
We used to say that it meant "no way"
And with that comment the computer is going in the bag for Abu Dhabi.
Be online when I get sorted.
Kinda reflects West Ham's (mis)fortunes, don't you think?
Have you been to Upton Park? If you know the area you'd be tossing back a few too.
I'm a great fan of Mr Walker myself, so keep walking.
LOL!!!!Have you been drinking singing a song like that you have to be!!! :P
Apparently an Iranian-born businessman is putting in a bid for the Hammers.
So maybe we're getting into the Justice League or something.
Don't be surprised if you see the Flash zooming across Old Trafford.

And where do you think you are going to get in the league this year?
Maybe it's the torque-induced whiplash.

NOW you make sense with your explanation. In Africa it is referred to as "Africa Time". In other words it will be ready when it is ready! Tomorrow is another day! Or don't call us, we will call you!
BTW, why would a sensible BMW fan and driver like yourself want to be a West Ham Supporter? Just asking?

It's 3 words:
"in" = if
"sha'a" = wills
"Allah" = God,
therefore if God wills, or God willing.
Unfortunately the practical usage of it more often than not is more like:
It'll be ready tomorrow inshallah (maybe in a week)
I will call you tomorrow inshallah (keep waiting)
etc., etc..

Thank you very much for the explanation. I notice that you spell it slightly differently and that you use 2 words - INSHA and ALLAH - which is the correct way of use? The 2 word version seems to make more sense to me in that as you explained the term it refers to God - Allah with the Insha referring to the willing(ness).
Its means "God's willing"
In our actions, we think, prepare, act, yet we always say INSHA ALLAH to relate to God's willingness to help with the matter at hand.
We dont know what's coming or the result of our actions and God only knows whether its to our best or not to proceed
Hope that helps
