dc.description.abstractAuwalu Hamza Yusuf shows that an artist is a critic and a social reformer as he grapples with exposing the ills in his society. As a literary artist, Yusuf in his collection of short stories entitled Citizen’s Parade and Other Stories objectively presents his society as it is with all its suffering and explosion. In this paper, the author examines through ‘Cheating Destiny’ the method by which the short story highlights the predicament of traditional Islamic education in the north and then projects the author’s moral vision for change. The image reflected in the story is that of society which is essentially fertile for breeding rogues and hoodlums. The researcher sees the religious uprisings in Nigeria involving the Almajiris as a consequence of social breakdown that makes the nation prone to violence. The society wrongly gives religious backing to begging which is un-islamic. The story makes one wonder if the concerned authorities are making productive effort to rid society of this syndrome.en_US
