what is kismet mean
When you encounter something by chance that seems like it was meant to be, then it could be kismet, your destiny. The word kismet comes from the Arabic word á¸³ismat, meaning âdivision, portion, lot.â You can think of kismet as your lot in life, or your fate. Youâll often hear the word used in relation to something significant that came about entirely by chance. n (Islam) the will of Allah.
