Maktub

"Maktub" is an Arabic word meaning "it is written" or "destined." It suggests that certain events or outcomes are predetermined or part of a larger plan, emphasizing acceptance of fate. The concept encourages individuals to trust that life's unfolding is already set, and to focus on how they respond to situations rather than trying to control everything. In many philosophical or spiritual contexts, "maktub" reminds us that some aspects of life are beyond our control, and acceptance can lead to greater peace and understanding of one’s path.
