How did "OJALÁ" get into the Spanish language?

Question

I know it's an Arabic-origin word ("God-willing"). I know Spain was Moor for like 1,000 years. My question is: why just "ojala" and no other big words? Are there any other major Arab-origin words that made it into the Spanish language?

Answer 1

Of course. Most words beginning with AL come from arabic

Answer 2

Its from the Spanish Arabic 'law šá lláh,' si Dios quiere, if God wills it.

There are lots of other Arabic words: just look through a dictionary at many of the words starting with 'al.'

Answer 3

it comes from arabic,during the moorish occupation of spain,as well as about 1400 other words.
