The Arabic phrase/term MashAllah or Masha-Allah is short for the longer phrase “Mashallah-Allah Tabarak Allah” which literally translates into “that in which God has willed, He has or will bless”. However, the closest meaning and use of the phrase in the English language is that similar to the phrase “Knock on wood” to express hope for someone’s good luck to continue for a particular positive statement or as to not jinx something good.
Example 1:
Alex: Oh wow Emily, you have the cutest baby ever!
Emily: Thanks Alex, that’s very sweet of you. Say MashAllah please.
Alex: absolutely...MashAllah!
Example 2:
Jamal: yo bro, this food is amazing! MashAllah your wife is an incredibly good cook.
Mike: I know man, thank you! Alhamdulilah (Thank God) God has definitely blessed me with a great wife.
Alex: Oh wow Emily, you have the cutest baby ever!

Get the mashallah mug.An awkward little earthworm who picks up heavy things and puts them down. Big personality, logs of attitude. Probably loves you but might not. Gives great reading suggestions and will talk your ear off for hours if you get her going. Don’t make angry or feel her wrath. Sarcastic, witty, and a little psycho. Cutie with a booty. Very rare!
