As far as I know the word Inshallah means G-d wiling in Arabic (note the Allah in the word) I looked it up because I'm sure there is more to it than that if Shwekey named a song after it.. Couldn't find much except that it may have Jewish roots.. Does anyone know more about this??

At my old shul, all the Jewish Moroccan ladies say this. I was shocked at first, but apparently among certain Sephardic groups, it's not considered a problem.
Don't know much about Shwekey, though.

Yes it's an Arabic word for G-d willing. That's all it is. People in sephardic communities use it a lot.

Why should it be a problem?

Many middle eastern Jewish communities have spoken Arabic or Judeo-Arabic for hundreds of years.

Yaakov Shwekey is Sephardi.
Many words and phrases have origins that fade over time. The Spanish "Ojalá" meaning "I wish!" or "G-d (Allah) willing" is also from Arabic.

Persians say it also.
How is it any different than using the word G-d?
If anything, it may be better, seeing that the Gd is used to refer to JC, or to a member of the so called trinity, and avoda zara, whereas the Arabic word is referring to the diety of Avraham avinu.
