I have come across these two phrases "God willing and God's willing" and it has a religious connotation especially in Arabic language , I don't know which one is grammatical

God willing OR "God willing"

a religious connotation in Arabic.

It's a way of expressing hope. (See below.)

I'll be here next year, God willing.

It's not just hope, but also recognizing that "man proposes, God disposes."

Thank you.

I disagree that it means hope, rather it expresses the fact that you will or are going to do something if God prolongs you life and allow you to do it.

The irony is that many say the expression God willing (إن شاء الله) to give a promise that they might not fulfill.

A. Will you come over next week?

B. Yeah. God willing.

It is either mean you will visit your friend or you just use the phrase to dismiss and ignore the person or the idea.

I know what the phrase means, but which one is correct God willing or God's willing?

"God willing" is correct. Think of it as "(if) God (is) willing."

It is either means either [that] you will visit your friend or you just use the phrase to that you will dismiss and ignore the person or the idea.

I know what the phrase means, but which one is correct - "God willing" or "God's willing"?

Note my corrections above. It's more natural to talk about "keeping a promise", rather than "fulfilling" one.
