important ! In recent years especially this year I’ve noticed a lot that the internet language picked up so many Islamic phrases and, from a muslim perspective, it makes the internet a little more welcoming. the thing is, a lot of the time with Islamic phrases you have to be careful about when and where to say them they hold their own weight and demand their own respect so here is a list explaining each phrase and some notes about it.
In sha allah
It means “ If God wills “. Muslims say it because we’re unaware of what future holds it’s actually blasphemous to claim to know the future, so saying so means “ If it’s the will of god it will happen if not it won’t “ and you’d say it about future events. side note, it’s also a polite way of saying No. for example, someone asks you to do something and you say in sha allah. Technically you’re not saying yes or no, and if it’s not in god’s will it won’t happen.
Ma sha allah
It means “ this is what god intended “ and it’s a compliment. Saying so is like saying WOW! But it’s also kind of a prayer of protection? If I see someone with pretty hair I should say “ Ma sha allah your hair is very pretty “ the ma sha allah protects the person from the evil eye. By saying that I’m also saying I’m not jealous I’m genuinely enamored and I don’t wish any harm to go to it.
Astagfurullah
it means “ to god I repent “ or “ from god I seek forgiveness” it’s usually used when you make a mistake but people also use it when they see something bad or when they want to avoid saying something bad. Like once my card refused to work and I’d say that so I won’t say any curse words and to calm down my anger
wallah/wallahi
okay this one is important. This one shouldn’t be used so lightly. It means “ by god’s name “ and it’s basically swearing in Allah’s name. You are only supposed to say it if you genuinely mean what you’re saying. It’s such a heavy word that I only say it very rarely and if you say it and don’t follow up on what you said you have to fast for three days as repentance.
One more note is that with the name of Allah you should also be careful it’s not supposed to be written on papers that’ll get stepped on or lightly used in art because it also has its own weight it’s regarded heavily. Like even in home decorations it should be elevated and not overshadowed. If I have to throw away a paper I have to sit down and color over the name of Allah or burn the papers so it won’t get thrown in trash.
another note is that those phrases aren’t Muslim exclusive. Some Arab non-Muslims use them as well. This is only my explanation from a Muslim perspective.
Another another note is this is what I can remember at the moment but if you have additions or enquiries let me know

The beginning of Surah Taha is full of Musa repeating that he was afraid and Allah would reassure him by telling him not to worry because He was with him.
In Surah Al Shuara, when the story of Musa reaches its climax with Bani Israel between the army of Pharaoh and the sea, Musa was the one that called out with confidence, “No, My Lord is with me and He will guide me!” He had already seen time and time again that whoever relies on Allah, Allah makes a way out for him. That no harm could ever touch him without Allah’s permission. That often, the things we’re most afraid of have no real power over us. For Allah has power over them.
When you are placed in situations where you are afraid or carrying burdens you feel are beyond your capacity, know that perhaps Allah is preparing you for something great in your future. Perhaps this is a training period. Perhaps Allah wants you to overcome your fears. Perhaps Allah wants you to see what you are capable of, so that you may be bolder in your future pursuits. The possibilities are endless.
But what is certain is that if Allah has placed you in a situation of fear or difficulty, then know He is with you and will lovingly guide you through it. He only plans to your benefit 🩵

Jewish-Muslim solidarity is knowing that you share terms and phrases, but respectively not knowing them in Arabic or Hebrew to compare.

Ibn Al-Qayyim رحمه الله said:
“How strange does it seem, that these tests which weigh a ton on our chest today will one day elevate us. Elevate us so high, that we will thank Allah. We will thank Him for testing us, for loving us and for giving us more than anyone could imagine.”
[Al-Fawa’id | Pg. 119]

You can't go to the bathroom or use the aisle for any purpose, because an entitled religion-of-peace advocate has to block the aisle so he can do what he wants.
This is against FAA regulations and a safety hazard.
Tolerance seems to be demanded and only goes one way.

A man said to Zayn al-‘Ābidīn:
“Why do you sit with people who are inferior to you, from the slaves and the freed slaves?”
He replied: “I only sit with those who benefit me in my religion!”

People are forgetting the sanctity and honour of makkah and madinah. Treating umrah like it's a trend.
Making tiktoks, v-logs and what not.
Where's your respect?
Where's your morals?
If Allah have blessed you with this opportunity, please do it right.
