الحيلة (Trickery) refers to the use of cunning or deceit to achieve a goal. It often involves manipulating situations or people to gain an advantage, whether in games, negotiations, or everyday life. Trickery can be seen in various forms, from harmless pranks to more serious forms of deception. In literature and folklore, trickery is a common theme, often embodied by characters like الذكاء (the clever one) or المحتال (the trickster). These characters use their wits to outsmart others, highlighting the tension between honesty and deceit. Trickery can serve as a tool for survival or a means to teach moral lessons.
