The story of Aladdin and the magic lamp is one of the most common stories that we used to tell in childhood, and it is passed down from generation to generation. On this topic, we will show you this story in detail to tell it to your children at bedtime.

Once upon a time, oh Saad, oh honorable one, it is not sweet to speak except by remembrance of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him. There was a boy called Aladdin, and this boy was from poor families. His uncle was a selfish individual, who preferred himself to everyone else. One day, Aladdin went out with his uncle to search for jewels or diamonds in one of the caves. Aladdin's uncle asked him to go down to the cave to get the jewelry inside. Aladdin was feeling very afraid because of his going down to the cave, and suddenly the door to the cave was closed on him. And he couldn't get out. Aladdin kept calling his uncle a lot, but after he failed to open the door, he left him and left him alone inside. He showed no interest in this boy.

Aladdin could not get out of the cave, so he was trapped in it, and kept moving inside it, walking in it next to the jewels. Suddenly he noticed a very old lamp. Aladdin took hold of the lamp, which was full of dust, and began to clean it, while at the same time he felt the lamp vibrate strongly. Then smoke came out of it, and inside it was a genie.

Aladdin was brave, not afraid, but suddenly felt, then the genie began to thank Aladdin. Because he was the reason to free him from this lamp, where he was imprisoned. The genie said to Aladdin, Ask what you want in return for what you did to me, because you got me out of this lamp. Aladdin said to him that he is also now imprisoned in this cave and I want to get out of it, so can you help me? He already told him you should close your eyes, and as soon as he closed his eyes he found himself outside the cave.

In the town where Aladdin lived, there was a prince called "Qamar al-Din". And he had a beautiful girl called "Yasmine", and Aladdin was constantly watching her while she was sitting on the balcony of the palace.

Aladdin was in love with this beautiful girl, and he wished to be associated with her, but he felt that it was impossible. Because he is from a family that does not have money “any poor family”. Of course, the prince will refuse to marry his daughter to a poor young man who does not have money like him. Aladdin returns home and with the magic lamp, he meets his mother at home. He began telling her what he had experienced in the cave until he reached home. Aladdin asked the genie to give him a lot of money and jewelry in addition to gifts. So that he can propose to the prince to propose to his daughter, “Yasmine.”

The genie will respond to him and give him plenty of money, jewels, and many gifts. When he asked the prince to marry his daughter, he told him that she was engaged to the son of a minister. Aladdin was very sad because he loved the prince's daughter and wanted to marry her. On her wedding day, Aladdin ordered the genie to make Jasmine hate her groom. And to see a bad face and leave him to make way for him. Indeed, the genie achieved what Aladdin wanted, and the night was spoiled, and the joy ended without their marriage. Aladdin proposed again to the prince's daughter in order to ask for her hand, and the prince agreed to that. But it was stipulated that he build her a palace like the one in which she was living, so that they could live together in it. Aladdin asked the genie to build a large palace for him to marry, and the genie actually built it. They married Aladdin and Yasmine and lived together with his mother in the palace. Aladdin's uncle returned to the town again, and he was aware that his nephew had come out of the cave and nothing bad happened to him. And that he found the magic lamp that made him rich. Aladdin's uncle wanted to have this magic lamp. The idea came to him to disguise himself as a man selling lamps and jewellery. He went to Aladdin's palace, and kept convincing his wife, "Yasmine," to replace Aladdin's magic lamp with one of the new lamps.

Aladdin's wife agrees to replace the magic lamp with the new one. Because she didn't know it was a magic lamp. Aladdin returned to his home and learned what had happened, which is that his uncle was the one who disguised himself as the seller and set his sights on his wife. And he began telling her the details of his story and that this magic lamp, and how he got it. Aladdin went to his work house and told him that he wanted to forgive him and be satisfied with him. While arguing with each other, Aladdin took the magic lamp without his uncle feeling. Aladdin returned to his palace with the magic lamp, then asked the genie to come out. After he got out of the lamp, he released him and told him that he was free, and told him that he did not want to serve him from now on. The genie replied to Aladdin and told him that he did not wish to be free. And that he desires to serve him for the rest of his life, because he is an honest man and is distinguished by his good character. Aladdin lived with his mother, Princess Jasmine, and the magical genie in the Happy Palace.
