Mashalla or Mashallah, an Arabic word used to show appreciation to something or someone. It's usually used to the same context as using the word "wow" in English. However the literal meaning is "what God has willed" and it's usually not what's meant by when mentioned in a sentence.

Get the Mashayla mug.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!
