Ramadan Arabian Nights 2022: Tale of Al-Ashkeef “The wailings of sadness island” Ep.22

Ramadan Kareem

Here is our 22^nd night of Ramadan Arabian nights.

Now, you can refresh your memory and listen to last night’s episode.

Scheherazade and Shahryar's famous animated version in Egypt "1989" 

Here is the 22^nd episode of our tale tonight. It was episode no.604 of our favorite show.

The old men tell the King to give them 2 days period till they know the fate of his son, Prince Zaafran. The old men insist on their tale and the King, the son of Luqman orders their torture.

Yet they insist on what they claimed earlier.

Al-Ashkeef leaves our princess, and he is drunk as usual. He tells her that he will visit next week promising that he will bring her brothers to intimidate her if she does not change her mind.

Prince Zaafran has got tons and tons of questions; he comes out of hiding and goes to the princess telling her to tell him everything.

He wonders about those sad sounds wailing and the princess tells him more about the history of Widows mount and the Sadness Island.

From old-time ago, those sounds appeared out of nowhere and nobody knows a definite answer about their origin. Some say that those sounds are actually for spirits wailing while others say that those are the sounds of the Djinn wailing for the end of King Solomon’s rule.

Some others say that this is just the wind’s sound when it meets the mount’s caverns. The island itself is enchanted and no human nor Djinn can reach it and its sea is full of enchanted djinn crocodiles guarding it by the order of the seal owned by the Ashkeef.

That’s why Princess Sabah is amazed at how Zaafran reached the palace in the first palace and our prince tells her what happened with the old men and the flying ebony horse.

The prince wants to take the princess and fly away on the ebony horse yet there is one problem with that plan: The Princess is in an enchanted cage that no one can touch otherwise he will die.

Upon the request of the Prince, Princess Sabah recounts what happened with the Ashkeef that led her to this cage.

Here is the 22^nd episode of the tale televised.

Tomorrow night inshallah we know how Zaafran and Sabah plan to get rid of the Ashkeef.
