The Breeze of Dusk with the Scent of Musk

Chapter 19: The Solemn Alliance

In the Rainbow City in the Silk Province in the Star Kingdom, Mohammad Azzumurrud is still in his great meeting with Taiyang Jian. Mohammad has just completed the Islamic Incantation that he was reciting on the pouch that Taiyang handed him to seek his help in magic nullification. After Mohammad finished the Islamic Incantation, he gave the pouch back to Taiyang and said: "I finished the Islamic Incantation. By the Will of Allah, magic is now nullified. Check your bewitched object now." Taiyang took the pouch and opened it and she was in complete shock, surprise and awe. She found the golden taels converted into stones. They remained in the same shape of the cast golden taels but they are now stones. Taiyang checked all the 100 golden taels and all were converted to stones. Taiyang started to cry out of happiness, surprise and awe. She said: "This is truth! Magic is now nullified! Magic is now nullified! Magic is now nullified!" Then Taiyang thanked Mohammad deeply, she said: "Thank you so much, Mohammad. Indeed, magic is now nullified. The bewitched object restored its original shape and form. You are really a blessed man. My words cannot thank you enough." Mohammad said: "All the praises and thanks are to Allah. Do not thank me but thank Allah. I am happy that I could help you." Taiyang said: "Who is Allah?" Mohammad said: "Allah is the Lord of the Worlds and the One and Only True God. Allah is my God and your God." Taiyang said: "All the praises and thanks are to Allah. I am extremely happy to see the magic on my bewitched object nullified. This is an unforgettable moment for me. I have been seeking to nullify this magic for a long time but to no avail. Finally, I found the sought-after solution. Thank you so much, Mohammad." Mohammad said: "You are most welcome anytime, Xiuying Lok. I am at your service anytime."

Then Taiyang was naturally interested to a great extent to know about Mohammad, the blessed man in her eyes that could nullify the magic of Zixin with his Islamic Incantation. She asked him a series of questions as follows:

Taiyang: Mohammad, you do not look a native Chinese. Where are you from?

Mohammad: I am from Bilad Ash-sham (mainly Syria) which lies to the north of the Arabic Peninsula.

Taiyang: I am not familiar with Bilad Ash-sham. I slightly heard about Arabs and do not know much about them. What is your mother tongue?

Mohammad: My mother tongue is Arabic.

Taiyang: What religion do you follow?

Mohammad: I follow the religion of Islam. I am a Muslim.

Taiyang: What does the Islamic Incantation your recited consist of? What is the secret behind it?

Mohammad: The Islamic Incantation consists of specific verses from the Holy Koran.

Taiyang: What is the Holy Koran? I am not familiar with it.

Mohammad: The Holy Koran is the miraculous Speech of Allah that He revealed to His final Prophet and Messenger, Prophet Muhammad. The Holy Koran is the Sacred Book of Muslims.

Taiyang: I really love the Holy Koran and the Islamic Incantation. They are so powerful to the extent of nullifying magic after I almost reached despair of finding a person who could nullify magic. I visited a myriad of magicians to nullify this magic and they all failed. You are stronger than all those magicians!

Mohammad: The Holy Koran has a myriad of benefits and uses, one of which is nullifying malevolent magic. All the praises and thanks are to Allah for benefiting you with my Islamic Incantation. I am happy for you to see the results you wished for.

Taiyang: Mohammad, are you a merchant in China? Are you a temporary visitor to China?

Mohammad: Yes, I came for trade in China with my cousin, Omar. We will stay here temporarily and we will head back to Bilad Ash-sham once we complete our mission.
