The Boy and the King

Based on a true story from the Holy Qur'an, chapter 85 (Surah Al-Buruj) The story is about the persecution of the Believers and tells us that Allah does watch over His own people. The immediate theme of the surah is the pit incident, when a community of believers who lived before the advent of Islam (said to be unitarian Christians) were faced by ruthless and tyrannic enemies who sought to force them away from their faith. The believers refused.
