God's will: the principle of the prime mover -- The wheel of time: the agent of corrosion -- Character: the prison of life -- Custom: the yoke of tradition -- Gender: the female experience -- Class and capital: the trap of poverty and tyranny -- Chance: the random arbiter -- To wish or not to wish? the double-edged sword.

In this book Dalya Cohen-Mor examines the evolution of the concept of fate in the Arab world through readings of religious texts, poetry, fiction, and folklore. She contends that belief in fate has retained its vitality and continues to play a pivotal role in the Arabs' outlook on life and their social psychology. Interwoven with the chapters are 16 modern short stories that further illuminate this topic.
