kismet,

Kismet is an Arabic word meaning
fate" or sit is fated." A belief in
predestination is one of the funda-
mental principles in the Mohammedan
faith. Not only mans fortune, but
his deeds, and consequently his future
reward or punishment are, according
to this faith, irrevocably, and thus IN
avoidably, pre-ordained-a doctrine
which has contributed largely to the
success of Islam by inspiring it's cham
pions with the greatest contempt for
the dangers of warfare. When a Mo-
hammedan meets with any disaster or
misfortune, no matter how great, he
accepts the situation calmly, merely
saving, 'Kismet'-'it is fated."
