A friend came to visit me and we were talking about our children when she suddenly laughed as she remembered her small child who got angry and was crying because she responded to his request of buying a toy by saying “when God wills” or “In sha’a’ llah”. I did not see any point in laughing. Quite the contrary, I was frustrated.
In the Muslim world this phrase“In sha’a’ llah” is extensively used. The little child could deduce that his mother will never buy him the toy. When will God will? No one can tell. He was right when he came to the conclusion that his mother avoided the blunt refusal. He might have experienced other similar situations as well.
