by Allah
Muslim sacred vow
By Allah is an oath invoking the Islamic name for God, used by Muslims to emphasize sincerity or truthfulness: By Allah, I did not take the money.
In casual speech among Muslims, it functions as a general intensifier expressing surprise, frustration, or strong feeling.
Non-Muslims may perceive it as exotic or associate it with stereotypes of Arab speakers.
