This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. Alaa was a boy who grew up in the countryside. He never knew a mother’s warmth since he was an infant, but he was raised by a noble and wise man who made him happy despite their poverty. However, this man grew old and became bedridden, forcing the boy and his brothers to carry the burdens of life at an early age.

In this story, Alaa did not turn to a magic lamp that grants wishes or a wondrous flying carpet. Instead, he turned to something better: the Gracious Lord and a sincere heart. For if a lamp or a carpet can be stolen, a beautiful heart can never be taken away.

In this part of the novel, we focused on the hero drawing strength from reason and wisdom. This is not because fantasy or wonders are bad, but because we wanted to achieve the greatest intellectual and moral benefit that can inspire us in real life. As Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal said: 'How much people need a truthful storyteller.'

Everyone loves entertainment and may tire of direct education, so what if we scattered lessons between the lines of suspense?

I wrote this story a few years ago while I was herding sheep, and guidance was close to my heart. So, I freed my pen to draw something that would make me happy. In the end, I was amazed by the result and wanted to share this work, which my family and friends admired. If you want to enter my world and learn more about Alaa, please share your opinion with me—it is very important and means a lot to me.
