I'm a native Arabic speaker myself.

My bad. But I don't see folks on any English speaking community  
(Ubuntu related)
saying "God's willing" or referencing anything remotely religious on  
official pages,
community boards or ubuntu hosted blogs. I'm trying not to get into  
splitting
hair and getting out of topic since I'm sure we all understand the  
difference between
Arabic as a language and using it for translation and 'Arabia' and its  
people, cultures,
customs, norms, habits, religions ..etc.

Thank you Jad. Not much to say about myself other than I'm no  
*westerner*,
I'm as Arab as they come and I've spoken Arabic and other languages  
since
I can remember.

Thanks again and best of luck friend,
