With a Word, Egyptians Leave It All to Fate
The McDonald’s here has golden arches, the same golden arches as anywhere else in the world. The food is prepared the same assembly-line way, too. But there is an invisible, or more precisely, divine, element in bringing that burger to the plate that the uninitiated may not be prepared for.
“Inshallah,†or “God willing,†the counterman said as he walked off to see about a burger without onions at the McDonald’s on the Alexandria Desert Road, 30 miles from the center of Cairo.

The meaning of insallah means: that's it: Kismet. Fate. Nothing you can do about.

Quoting Roswitha: The meaning of insallah means: that's it: Kismet. Fate. Nothing you can do about. |
Well the meaning is that you can't do anything about it yet, but it more directly means 'If god wills', 'God willing' 'İf that's what god wants'. Something like that I guess.

İnşallah means a positive thing usually,it has nothing to do by 'if i can do anything or not'!
Of course we have everything to do with it,you will do that thing or you wont do it by yourself ALLAH wont do it for you.
İt means..By the will of ALLAH,i will do this or that,or something will happen
İn a positive ways,but people tend to use it in another way,like i will do it İF ALLAH want 'means i may and i may not'
İn informal speaking we use it in many ways,sometimes means we wont give a clue of what will happen,or what we will do .
But its meaning,that 'with ALLAH will'

İ read it now,and actually,its not like this
İts a preferable word used by all Muslims not only Egyptians,thats why you knew about it in Türkiye too
Means as i stated by the will of ALLAH
İts not a bad word to even write such article about it and surely not a word to make fun of!
But,here we have many people same like in Türkiye too against head scarves,and appearently against anything religious too,even words!
Even they are free not to wear it if they want,but they also hate it when other women wearing it!
We use the word lots,its as giving hope that 'this thing' will happen by the will of ALLAH which is greater will we know of 'spiritually'
İts a word incuding hope and doa too
Anyway,its ridiculous to discuss the words we say and why we say it!
So,let them talk

Actually I use it too. I try not to, because it feels false to say something in the name of an Allah that I don't believe in, but it sounds so nice and is so easy to say I say it when I firmly hope something to happen.
