Note: This post is written by Sir Khurram Hussain. I have posted it to spread it as much as I can.
TO NEGATE THE POST ABOUT THE CORRECT SPELLING OF THE WORD INSHALLAH:
Q: What is the correct spelling; inshAllah, insh’Allah, insha’Allah or in sha Allah?
Q: Can alphabets of InshAllah be written in any way or the specific way of keeping spaces and putting commas in between the alphabets is mandatory?
Q: Is writing inshAllah in this way correct? If we do not give spaces or put commas in between the alphabets, will it affect the meanings?
Q: If leaving spaces and putting commas are not mandatory and doesn’t affect the meaning of the word inshAllah then why a scholar like Dr. Zakir Naik has given a word against it?
Ans: Firstly it doesn't affect the meanings ... Secondly, the post of Mr. Zakir Naik and other similar posts related to the spelling of the word inshAllah are designed to have more and more likes nothing else.... Thirdly, we see so many posts going all around just to confuse Muslims like the post of one-eyed fish, the tree bowing in prostration, the name of Allah and Prophet (PBUH) written on tree and other things. These posts are designed mainly to astonish Muslims on something that doesn't even exist but such posts and pages earn many likes and SPONSORS due to those likes. Thus, it is the money game and usually such things we see in pictures and posts do not exist at all.... Lastly, as long as Mr. Zakir Naik is concerned the post is surely not from him, his name is being used. Moreover, Mr. Zakir Naik doesn't know Arabic Language, his Arabic is weaker than many Pakistani kids who do not know Arabic even but can pronounce it rightly, but Mr. Naik can't even pronounce Arabic rightly. So it is more than impossible that Mr. Naik points out something that relates to grammar of Arabic language which we call S'arf And Naha'w. You also ought to remember that Mr. Naik is just a scholar who graduated from University and his specialty is the subject of ‘The Comparative Study of Religions’ only. His capacity only allows him to debate on the discipline of different religions, he is not a legal scholar so his words mean nothing if he provides any of the legal rulings or in simple words his Fatwas mean nothing cause he is not an ALIM or MUFTI (Jurist) who can deliver Fatwas ..! This could be offending to many of his fans but it is simply true.
We have been looking many posts related to the formation of Arabic language or the use of right terms. One of those is about Do not use the term 'Mosque' rather say Masjid cause mosque means a place where intoxicants are sold ..! See this is again to confuse Muslims though in dictionary mosque has dual meanings like many other nouns carrying different meanings.
Coming back to the formation of Arabic words.. when we write Uthman, its correct spelling is uTHman but many write it as uSman ... technically its affecting the pronunciation but the reader knows how it is pronounced so it is no big deal .. if I write Waris or Warith, correct spelling is wariTH but if we read Waris somewhere we know we need to pronounce 'tha' not 'seen' of Urdu language ...! so in that scenario if we read inshAllah, or in sha Allah, or IA we know how to pronounce it rightly so how cuold it be a big deal ...
If we be extremely technical with the spellings, commas and spaces then again 'in sha Allah' is not solving the issue ... see when we write Quran, here the sound of 'raaa' is to be extended so it is written as Qur'an ... the single comma is to highlight that ra is to be stretched..! and there is more ‘Raaa’ in it ... similarly Kabah can be written as kAAbah or Ka'bah ... here comma after a indicates sound of ‘a’ is to be stretched ... so if inshAllah is to be written as per technical requirements considering the pronunciation then it would be like this insha'Allah or insh'Allah ... but again noticing all this it's not a point how we write it, the point is how we pronounce it and being a Muslim we all know how to pronounce it so writing INSHALLAH in any way is absolutely correct and no authentic and legal scholar has given a word against its spellings ....!!
Sincerely,
