among the most common formulae used are the two insha Allah and masha Allah, 'if God Wills' and 'what God haswilled', which are heard so often in daily speech. The first refers to the future and expresses man's confidence in God's Will and the realization that nothing can be achieved without His Will. This formula and the attitude that accompanies it, of course, apply to that aspect of reality which is connected with our free will, not that which follows from necessity.
