Once upon a time, there was a poor street kid named Alladen Mohammed, who
lived in Nazareth, in the Roman Province of Judea, where the capital was Jerusalem.
One day, Alladen asked a Roman Soldier if he would like to guess the odds of a marble
being choosen from under three cups, under one of which, the marble had been hidden.
The Roman Soldier said no, and then told Alladen to get out of town. So, Alladen made
his way up to Jerusalem, where, the Caliph of Jerusalem was Josef al Sherif, and where
the evil Grand Vizier, was Juan de Gedido. Alladen made his way around and about the
market square in Jerusalem, and began speaking with a furniture salesman named, Josef.
Josef said to Alladen, “I can see that you must go on a great journey in order to find your
fortune. This is called the Spirit Journey or the Heroes’ Journey.” “Now, I will give
you 50 sestare coins, and you must not come back until you have accomplished a great
feat,” said Josef. So, Alladen took the money and headed for Baghdad to study
thieves, but, Alladen killed all of them with his rapier sword and took their booty for
himself. In the pack of one of the dead bandits, Alladen found a lamp. Alladen rubbed
the tarnished lamp three times, and opened the lamp bottle by pulling out the cork which
held it closed. Lo and Behold, out came a Magic Jinn or Genie. The Jinn said, I am the
Jinn of Al Kadar, do you have any wishes for me?” Alladen thought about it and then
said, “Well, right of parley, how many wishes to I have?” The Jinn then manifested a
Book and looked into it for awhile. Then, the Jinn said, “I suppose that you have three
wishes, at a minimum, and no more,” said the Jinn. Alladen thought for awhile, and then
said, “First, I wish that you remain within earshot so that you can hear my later wishes.”
“Wish granted”said the Jinn, “Next,” said Alladen, I wish for an additional One hundred
Million wishes, or an infinite number of wishes, whichever is greater.” The Jinn looked
very troubled, but said, “Allright, I can see that your wish comes within the Magic Rule,
therefore it is granted.” Alladen then said, “I wish that, as to any wish, subsequent to this
wish, that any such wish can be changed, altered, modified, or cancelled, by any later
wish by me, Alladen.” “Wish granted,” said the Jinn Al Kadar. Then Alladen said, “I
wish for the gifts of Wisdom, Reason, and Logic,” “Those are certainly wise wishes,”
said the Jinn, “they are granted.” Alladen then said, “I wish for a Magic Carpet to take
me and you to Baghdad, so I can study philosophy, metaphysics, and jurisprudence under
the scholars Avicenna and Averoes.” “Wish granted,” said the Jinn. Also, said Alladen,
“I wish for an immortal soul and immortality for me and my body and soul.” “Wish
granted,” said the Jinn. Alladen and the Jinn then flew on the Magic Carpet to Baghdad,
jurisprudence under the scholars Avicenna and Averoes. Soon, Alladen developed into
a Druid Gray Wizard, who is a master of Subtle Gray Magic. After a time, Alladen said
to the Jinn, “I wish that you owe me an amount of money equal to One Million sestares,
go on your way, provided that in great need you must come back in response to my wish
and help me.” “Agreed, and wish granted,” said the Jinn al Kadar. Alladen then flew on
his Magic Carpet to Jerusalem, and then destroyed the evil Grand Vizier, and in due
course, married the Caliph’s daughter and eventually became the Caliph of Jerusalem,
with many children and living happily ever after. And, also finding a Magic Book,
known as the Koran, containing many wise Taoist sayings, and the Gospels of Matthew,
Mark, Luke, John, and Saint Jude, as well as the Book of Wisdom, and, this very same
Tale of the Life of Alladen, Mohammed, found here. Alladen Mohammed had this book
printed up, and distributed this Magic Koran Book all over the Known World.
