Islam is a religion that has its roots in the Arabian Peninsula and spread throughout the world. Arabic is the language of the Qur'an, the holy book of Islam, and is widely spoken by Muslims worldwide. For those who are not familiar with the Arabic language, it can be challenging to understand the various expressions used by Muslims in their daily lives. One of the most important aspects of Islamic culture is the use of particular phrases that express gratitude, praise, and the will of God. Subhanallah, is a way to show gratitude to an event or specific moment. 


Like Suhanallah, those expressions are very important in Islam and must be used in a certain way.



This article, we will explore some of the most commonly used Arabic expressions in Islam and their meanings.


Al-Hamdulillah in Islam 


Al-Hamdulillah literally means "All Praises belong to God". In practice, it is used to give thanks to God. It can be used at any time of the day to praise God. Muslims also use it when asked "how are you?", they respond "al-hamdulillah" (Praise be to God). Note: Some people say "hamdullah" or "hamdulillah", but the correct pronunciation is "Al-hamdu lillah".

SubhanAllah

SubhanAllah (pronounced as "soubran Allah") means "Glory to God". It is used especially during the five daily prayers of Contact ("Subhana Rabbi al Azim" during the inclination and "Subhana Rabbi al A'la"). It can also be used at any time of the day to glorify God.


InchaAllah 


InchaAllah means "If God wills it". It is used to indicate one's intention to do something in the future. For example, "Tomorrow I will go shopping, InchaAllah" (if God wills it). As Muslims, we are aware that God controls everything that happens in our lives, so we cannot predict the future and something will only be possible with God's permission (if God wills it). Some people mispronounce the expression by saying "inchallah", but the correct expression is pronounced in two parts "Incha Allah": InchaAllah.


MashaAllah


MashaAllah: literally "what God has willed". It is used especially when something good happens to us. Everything that happens to us depends on God. So if we have worked hard to prepare for a degree, obtaining the degree is a blessing from God. Out of recognition and humility, we acknowledge that it happened to us by the will of God. Some people mispronounce the expression by saying "machallah", but the correct expression is in three parts "Ma Cha Allah": MashaAllah.


Bismillah


Bismillah means "in the name of God". Muslims use it before starting any action dedicated to God. In a sense, Bismillah is similar to the expression "let's go". The only difference is that we mention the name of God as a witness to what we are doing. Muslims also say "Bismillah" before eating, as God asks Muslims in the Quran to pronounce the name of God before eating.

In conclusion, understanding the meaning and significance of commonly used Islamic expressions is essential for those who are new to the religion and do not speak Arabic. The expressions provide a means to express gratitude, glorify God, and acknowledge His control over all aspects of life. Whether it is "Al-Hamdulillah" to express gratitude or "InchaAllah" to signify one's intention to do something in the future, these expressions are a reflection of the importance of God in the life of a Muslim. By learning and using these expressions in our daily lives, we can deepen our understanding and connection to the Islamic faith.
