An Arabic term, it means literally "Should Allah(God) want to" but when used it means "No" in the least harmful manner.
It's most commonly used as a response to a request of "going out" or "planning a visit".
It's widely used among Arab moms as a reply to her child's request.
- Mom can we go to the park after lunch?
- Inshallah habibi.
- So should I get dressed?
- Inshallah.
