From Accepting God's Decree

إيش يُعمل بك؟

What can be done with you?

يُعمَلُ can be done

A present-tense passive verb 'is done/can be done'. The passive comes from the inner vowel pattern, not a helper word, so the action has no named doer - the question asks what could be done, by anyone. It pairs with the fronted 'what' to make 'what can be done [to you]', leaving the agent open.
