Importance of Saying Insha-Allah
During a Jumah Khutbahin a small town, an Imamtalked about the
significance of saying"Insha Allah" (which means if Allah wills) when
planning to do something in the future. After a few days, a man who
had also attended the Khutbah was going to buy a cow from the market.
On the way, he met a friend who asked him where he was going. He told
him aboutbuying the cow but did not say Insha Allah in theend. His
friend remindedhim about the Khutbah and told him to say InshaAllah.
However, this individual said that he had the money he needsand the
energy to go to the market, thus, there isno point of saying Insha
Allah as he will certainly buy the cow. He thoughtthat saying Insha
Allah will not make any difference.
When he reached the market, he found a cow that met his expectations.
He burgained with the seller and came to a reasonable price.
Finally,he decided to pay for the cow but was dumbfounded when he
discovered that his money was missing. A thief had stolen the money
while he was walking through the busy market. The cow seller asked him
whether he was going to buy the cow or not."Insha Allah, I will buy it
next week," he said. When he reached home, his wife inquired about the
cow. He told her about how he forgot to say Insha Allah, and also
added, "Insha Allah, I wanted to buy the cow. But Insha Allah, my
money was stolen. Insha Allah, I will buy it next week." His wife
clarified to him that we should say Insha Allah for thingsthat are yet
to happen, not for those things that had already happened. He never
forgot his"Insha Allah" again.
This incident was narrated by Shaikh Wahidullah from Toronto, Canada.
