Inshallah إن شاء الله
"Inshallah" or "Insha'Allah" (إن شاء الله) is a phrase often used in East Africa and the larger Muslim world. The English translation is "God willing" and is a term to indicate hope for an aforementioned event to occur in the future. However, the term is often thrown into conversation to express "if I feel like it". For example, when asking a refugee applicant to come for interviews the following day they will often simply state "inshallah".
