13 Times You Said InshAllah But Definitely Didn't Mean It

By Atiya Abbas | 3 Jul, 2016

Saying InshAllah has become a national pasttime

Pakistanis love to start and end sentences with InshAllah. The phase means, ‘if God wills’ and most of the time we try to mean it from the depths of our hearts. However there are certain instances when we say it just to please the rishtedaar or that annoying uncle at a daawat when tbh we couldn’t have been feeling more contrary.

 

1. When an auntie at a shaadi asks if you’re next

“InshAllah aunty, bus aap dua kerain.” (NOT)
