Why we say inshallah?

I believe it means "If God wills it," or "In the will of God."\n\nOne could say that anytime, but especially when discussing future plans, hopes, or intentions.\n\nWHY we say it is because we realize that the future, or the outcome of our plans isn't up to us. I believe it is also said  in the hope that God will favor our plans or intentions.\n\nWhat is your opinion?

The first thing people in the west need to understand about Islam and the Islamic world is that Islam is a symbol used for exploitation by most of the people calling themselves as Muslims and not taken in the true letter-n-spirit.  The very word Islam means (according to Dictionary)"1. Peace, 2. Submission (To Allah/God). The second meaning is exactly what is the first meaning is if one reads the Quran (The Word of Allah/God) they will understand why some people use the first meaning and the second meaning. Although both the meanings are synonymous for people who are born in a "Muslim" community it becomes a misleading meaning for others who have never read or gone through the Quran. Having said this as far as the question for Muslim leadership is concern the people who claims to be Muslims most of them are themselves not aware of their religion "Islam" as they are divided into a number of sects, similar to those that exist in Christianity. However, since the people who claims to be Christians have learned to co-exist with other sects of their faith (after centuries of inter-faith conflicts and conflicts between the Church and the society) by disassociating their religion from their day to day affairs they are more at peace in other words living more in "Islam" then their counter parts the so-called "Muslims". It is, therefore, that there is no central leadership that exists in the "Muslim" world at present.  In their own countries even their divided leadership does at times issue statements against terrorism (as understood by the other half of the world), however, their statements never found space in your part of the world. This is because of a number of factors the first and the top most is that the very definition of the word ‘Terrorism’ holds different meanings for different people. For example when Hitler committed crimes against humanity to date despite the hatred against Hitler his work was never labeled as terrorism. When the combined allied forces devastated the German cities and cut them into two halves, raping and maiming millions of civilians the act was never seen as terrorism but was considered a response against Hitler's forces atrocities. When the US forces attacked Korean peninsula and killed many civilians in the name of fight against communism the war was neither termed as terrorism nor a fight against terrorism. When the Jews, supported by their European and US allies, carried out attacks and killings of innocent Palestinian people to drive them out of their homeland their campaign was never termed as terrorism. To date I am sure you do get to see a photograph or two of the Israeli atrocities committed both in "Israel" and Lebanon and in the rest of the world like attack on Iraqi Osirock nuclear plant and killing of Palestinian people all around the world are not termed as terrorism but an act of self defense and seen as their right for existence. When Iraq threatened Kuwait it was termed as terrorism when Israel threatened Iran it is termed as right to defend. When defenseless Palestinian children are killed in the arms of their fathers and mothers, as was shown live on TV, despite the fact that no sane person in the West ever acknowledged it as correct, no one even termed as terrorism either. When Indian forces occupies Kashmir and carries out genocide of defenseless Kashmiris it is termed as internal matter. When Kashmiris tries to retaliate it is called terrorism. When during WW-II the French Freedom Movement and the Italian Freedom fighters did the same against occupying Nazi forces it was never termed as terrorism. When Muslims are slaughtered in India during riots it is termed as isolated events of rioting among society and not as terrorism. Isn’t it strange how we use one word of dictionary to term a whole society a whole group of people as bigots, terrorists, un-educated and barbaric lot, whereas, on the other hand all the

"It is an Arabic word the root of which is Jahada, which means to strive for a better way of life. The nouns are Juhd, Mujahid, Jihad, and Ijtihad. The other meanings are: endeavor, strain, exertion, effort, diligence, fighting to defend one's life, land, and religion.\n\nJihad should not be confused with Holy War; the latter does not exist in Islam nor will Islam allow its followers to be involved in a Holy War. The latter refers to the Holy War of the Crusaders."\n\nhttp://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/reference/glossary/term.JIHAD.html\n\nObviously the part saying Islam will not allow its followers to be involved in a Holy War is incorrect.  Just thought I would try to find an expert opinion.

The Basmalah phrase.\n\nIt's anglicised written form is usually Bismillah-AlRahman AlRahim but when you say the whole phrase, it will sound "Bismillaa-hirRahmaa-nirRaHeem". . (Just like you would say "Annapel-laday.." for An Apple A Day). \n\nEvery chapter in the Quran starts off with this 'In the name of God Most Gracious, Most Merciful'. Since the correct spelling would be in Arabic I guess the equivalent anglicised spelling will come in plenty of variants. The fact that the way it is spelt word by word is different from the way one pronounces it is due to the short vwls that exsts in Arbc spllng. Gt my pnt?\n\nI would have to apologize since I do not know where these pendants can be purchased. But a word of caution here; wearing the pendant will mean that you take good care of it. \n\nSince the Basmalah phrase contains the word Allah in it, practicing Muslims usually don't recite the word Allah in toilets and they don't carry the writings'Basmalah pendants into toilets to protect its sanctity. \n\nAt the end of the day it is a little issue of discipline but happy hunting. You would probably want to custom-made an engraving out of it.

I don't reckon that the inventors of this trademark had Hebrew in their mind when thought of it, but you are quite right.\n\nYah is one of god's many names in Hebrew.\nHoo means "he", or "his", but sometimes it has no meaning.\nThe combination of the two words is very popular in biblical names, such as Zedekiah (Tzidkiyahu: justice of Yah), or Isaiah (Yisha'ayahu: Yah is salvation).\n\nYahoo means "he is god".

Fact # 1\nAllah is the Arabic name for God. All Arabs, not only Muslims, call God Allah.\n\nFact # 2\nQuraish people believe in God (they call God Allah because they are Arabs). They used to worship statues as their minds would not go beyond the 5 senses at that time (just like people of Abraham). They worship statues (Al-Lat, Al-Uzza, and Manat) as they thought those seen statues will be a medium between them and the invisible God.\n\nFact # 3\nAl-Lat, Al-Uzza, and Manat are feminine names. (Arabic is like French, there are feminine names and masculine names).\n\nFact # 4\nBeofre Islam, baby girls was to be buried alive as they see it an issue of pride & honor to have only boys not girls.\n\nFact # 5\nThe Arabic word ("Banat") has 2 meanings; it means girls, and also means daughters. The context of verses where these 3 idols mentined in Quran indicate girls not daughters.\n\nSo the meaning of verses where (Banat) was mentioned is that:\nYou pagan Arabs, you bury your daughters because you think they bring you shame, and you don't want any for yourselves except boys, then you give feminine names for the idols you worship who you think will carry your good deeds to God. So it's a kind of objection from God for this unjust division (from pagan Arabs perspective).\n\nP.S. Abdullah, is same as Abdu Allah, which means God worshipper. pagan Arabs believe in Allah, but they were polytheist and takes idols as representitives for God.

Mujahid (pl. Mujahideen)is one who performs jihad (struggle) => One who struggles.\n\nJihadi is not used for the person who struggles, but it exists in the language. The addition of the ya' (i) at the end adds the meaning of belonging. Jehadi = anything that's related to or belonging to jihad. It's just like adding the "ic" suffix in English. So for Islamic for example, we say islami in Arabic.

Muslims claim that the name Allah can be found in the Bible. This is no different than what the Jehovah's Witnesses do for the name Jehovah. Allah is not called Yahweh once in the Koran but neither is Yahweh called Allah in the Bible. So they can't be the same God. Neither is the word Elohim which is applied to Yahweh over 2,500 times in the Bible used in the Koran. Neither is he called I Am, which He said to Moses would be His name forever.\nThe God of the Bible identifies himself as the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Jacobs name is later changed to the name Israel, being the father of the 12 tribes of Israel. The God of the Bible calls Jerusalem the city of David and that the Messiah would descend from his lineage. Neither does the God of the Bible does not mention Mecca or Medina but instead Jerusalem 800 times. Yet Jerusalem is not mentioned in the Koran, which the Muslim claims as there own.\nThe God in the Bible is called the God of the Jews, an impossibility with Allah. They are called his chosen people, but they are not Allah's chosen. Allah commands the Muslim to not take the Jews or Christians as friends, Sura.5:51 disdains the Jews. Mohammed said, “The last hour will not come before the Muslims fight the Jews, and the Muslims kill them.” (Mishkat Al Masabih Sh.M. Ashraf pp.147, 721, 810-11, 1130). So how could Israel inherit the land or any of God's promises from Allah, if he is their God. Clearly he is not the same God of the Bible.\nMuslims trying to prove their position from the Bible point to the Old Testament with the word alleluyah, interpreting the first portion of the word alle as Allah. The word [H]alleluyah is not a compound Hebrew word. It is not two words but a singular word meaning praise to Yahweh. (alle- praise, lu-to, yah-Yaweh). The beginning of the word is Hallel meaning praise. This has nothing to do with an Allah, and the last syllable of the word is a reference to Yahweh the God of the Bible, this is hardly any evidence for their assertions. They are also confusing Aramaic with Arabic. This is not unusual, as Muslims will often take words and meanings set in another language and culture and adopt them for proof of their own book or religion.\nThis word play only gets more ludicrous as they try to have Jesus saying the name of their God. When Jesus was on the cross they claim when he cried out Eli, Eli it was really is Allah, Allah. The New Testament was written in Greek, however it points us to him speaking the Aramaic language, not Arabic. Jesus was quoting Psalm 22:1 which read in full says, Eli, Eli Sabbathani “My God, My God why have you forsaken me.” What makes even less sense for this position is the fact that they don't believe that it was Jesus on the cross in the first place, but that another took His place. Some think it was Judas; so it was Judas crying out Allah, Allah?\nThe first Arabic translation of the Bible came into existence about the 9th century. Nowhere is the name of Allah found in the Old or New Testament. When Islam became the dominant political force people were coerced to use the name Allah for God or suffer the consequences from the hands of militant Muslims. Because of Islam's dominance Allah became the common name of God. The translators of the Bible gave in to the religious pressures and substituted Allah for Yahweh in the Arabic Bibles, but this is not the name of the God of the Hebrews, nor of the creator who made heaven and earth because of its source in paganism. His nature and attributes have only a few basic similarities and many more differences. And the most important point is that all through the Qu'ran it says Allah has no son. \n\nSource(s):\n\nNow. explain this muslims:\n\nIn Isaiah 9:6-7, it says, Unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given. And what is the name of this son? The "Mighty God" in the next verse.\n\nJESUS CHRIST IS: "THE MIGHTY GOD"\n\nIsaiah vs 6:\nFor unto us a child is born,
