Masha'Allah (ما شاء الله) is an Arabic phrase evoked by Muslims to indicate appreciation for an aforementioned individual or event. The closest English translation is "God has willed it," the past tense of God's will accentuating the essential Islamic doctrine of belief in fate. It is used to show joy and praise.

It's Arabic and used by Muslims as follows:
ma sha Allah : is said to protect something from envy and harm by saying this is with the power of god. (ex. a beautiful baby, a big house, a nice car.... you say "ma sha Allah" and even better "ma sha Allah la koowata ella bellah" meaning this is what god wishes for because their is no power unless it's from god) by saying that you protect is from being harmed.
in sha Allah : is said when you plan to do something and you say that to mean if it's god's will so you would acknowledge that whatever you do is with god's will.
IT'S NOT EVOKED BY MUSLIMS IT'S IN KORAN, CHECK SURAT "THE CAVE" SIGN NO. 39 the man was advised,after it was too late, to have said "ma sha Allah la koowata ella bellah" because sayingthat would have saved his gardens.

"Maasha Allah"-is Arabic as far as I know...It doesnt mean 'God's will'.Only "Inshah Allah" means God's will.
"Maasha Allah" -Means All the praise goes to the Lord..They usually say it when something is beautiful or extrodinary, the man who made it or owns it cannot take the credit for it, and only the lord is to be praised..Its to show humbleness!

It's used in Persian and Urdu, as well. People sometimes use it sarcastically, like say you make spill something, someone can say "mash'allah" to tease you.
