Verse 23-4. And do not say, “I will do something tomorrow,” without (saying) “Insha Allah. If Allah wills!” But remember your Lord when you forget and say, “Perhaps my Lord will guide me to a way nearer to truth than this.”
Allah knows what was and what is yet to be and what is not to be, how it will be if it is to be. (Bilal Philips). :)
The story of Prophet Sulaiman intending to go to his seventy wives in a single night and thinking that they will all bear him a son to who fight fee sabeelillah and not saying Insha Allah. None of them gave birth except one who gave birth to a half-formed child. The Prophet then said “Had he said it (insha Allah), they would have fought in the way of Allah”. (Bukhari).
The Benefit of saying Insha Allah:
1.Allah will make his affair easy as long as he turns to Allah.
2.If he fails to do it, he does not break an oath.
If a person says, “I will do this” as a means of informing and not as a certainty about its occurrence, the addition of Insha Allah is not required. Example: your friend ask you. “Will you pass by my place tomorrow?” and you replied, “Yes” without saying “Insha Allah”, there is no harm. Because it is information about your intention and what is in your heart has been permitted by Allah; it has already occurred so there is no need to make it dependent on Allah's wish. However, if you intend that it would take place, it is something which has not occurred yet, so you must say “Insha Allah” as you do not know whether it will happen or not.
