inshallah

Definition

An Arabic phrase meaning 'God willing' or 'if God is willing'—the spiritual equivalent of crossing your fingers, but with significantly more divine backup. Commonly used by Muslims and increasingly adopted in internet culture as a humorous hedge against uncertainty.

Example Usage

I'll finish this project by Friday, inshallah, assuming my computer doesn't explode.
