    Spanish has the word "ojalá" from "inshallah". Same meaning. Entered the language during the moorish occupation of Iberia. Used in completely non-religious contexts.

      It's really kinda cool seeing the fingerprints of Arabic influence on the Spanish language.

      I'm pretty food focused and there's a lot of Arabic hiding out in Spanish words for food. It still boggles my mind that the Spanish word for olive traces its roots directly to Arabic.
