A
subtle point of benefit to appreciate regarding the obligation of relegating
our future actions to the Will of Allaah by saying “انشاء
الله (inshaa’Allaah)” …
Some
of the scholars (like al-Qurtubee) mentioned that if we say something
about the future (like “I am going to Makkah”) without adding انشاء الله (inshaa’Allaah), and it turns out that we changed our plans or were prevented and ended up not going – that we would be liars (with regard to that report), since we have reported something that was in contradiction to the actual reality (which is the definition of a kathib)!
about the future (like “I am going to Makkah”) without adding انشاء الله (inshaa’Allaah), and it turns out that we changed our plans or were prevented and ended up not going – that we would be liars (with regard to that report), since we have reported something that was in contradiction to the actual reality (which is the definition of a kathib)!
And
when we add “انشاء الله (inshaa’Allaah)”
to our stated plans, we are free of any blame if the intended plan does not
actually take place, since we only said we would do that if Allaah wills it,
and it is clear that Allaah has not willed it!
This
is from the many, many benefits of a simple phrase of thikr on our
tongues!! And look how it relates to vast obligation of honesty in Islaam!
And
Allaah knows best.
