Maktub: destiny Hey Italki community! I want to develop this subject. Destiny, the destination, the good luck or whatever you want to call it. First, I'm going to talk about the word "maktub". I guess many of us know this word. Paulo Coelho mentions and develops the mean of Maktub in one of his books, "The Alchemist", if you have never read this novel, I recommend that you spend a little time everyday reading this artwork. He says that Maktub is a arabic word (if I remember well), which means that everything is written, all our future is written. And here I want to mention the destination (Do you believe in Destiny?). I think anyone can do what you want, and nobody can you says you what do you need to do. Do you understand what I want to tell you? But, if it's written that we are going to do anything, destiny exists?. If it's written that we are going to create our own road, destiny exists?. So, I want to ask you. Destiny exists? or not? Good bye and I hope you have a nice destination.

Maktub: destiny

Hey Italki community! I want to develop this subject. Destiny, fate, the good luck or whatever you want to call it. First, I'm going to talk about the word "maktub". I guess many of us know this word. Paulo Coelho mentions and develops the meaning of Maktub in one of his books, "The Alchemist". If you have never read this novel, I recommend that you spend a little time everyday reading this book. He says that Maktub is a arabic word (if I remember well), which means that everything is written, all our future is written. And here I want to mention the destiny. I think anyone can do what he wants, and nobody can say what you  need to do. Do you understand what I want to tell you? But, if it's already written that we are going to do anything, does free will (libre albedrio) exist? If it's written that we are going to create our own road, does destiny exist? So, I want to ask you. Does destiny exist or not? Good bye and I hope you have a nice. no estoy seguro como traducir la ultima frase. tal vez May the fates/gods be with you? o Tenga un buen vida  (un poco raro pero a veces se oye)

No usamos "destination". Usa "fate", "predestined" (adjectivo, no verbo, aun podria ser verbo tambien)

I want to say somthing about this subject but i'm sorry about my English is not good. So destiny or (muktoub) or the exactly translation is (Elkadar;القدر) it's a religiouse word it's a islamic word and it's mean everything happened ro it will happened with you whether good or no bad like ( ill, deadliness, happy, mariage...) it's all from God (Allah) and destiny is condition among five conditions for become Muslim. But that it's not means you can do anythine like jump from 5th floor and than you said it's my destiny to be died. Becouse we have choice to do somthing in oure life and otherwise we can't choise to do somthing like predetermination time of oure dealiness. I more speech to telling you but i can't explain good. You know that becouse the languge is not help me. I hope to understand me Thank you.

"Maktub" or "Maktoob" is indeed an Arabic word :) it literally means: "written". I read the Alchemist in its Arabic version but it wasn't as I expected to be honest, so I find Paulo Coelho himself to be an interesting man, but his books or what I read from them so far didn't reach me at all. Well done on your entry Patrick :)
