Today, a group of slaves from various parts of Africa and some parts of Asia had been gathered in Syria. These men and women would soon be taken to the Kingdom of Jordan, as requested by the palace advisors.

The Kingdom of Jordan is located in the Middle East and shares borders with five countries: Palestine, Israel, Syria, Saudi Arabia, and Iraq. It is situated in the Arab region, known for its historical significance as a place where several Prophets are believed to have passed through, including Prophet Ibrahim and Prophet Jesus, on their way to Syria.

The history of Jordan involves various tribes, but three main tribes played a significant role in forming the country: Hashmiyyah from the Banu Hashim tribe, Husseiniyyah from Banu Husein, and Urdawa. These tribes united to establish the Kingdom of Jordan. However, tensions arose, especially as Banu Hussein harassed members of the Urd tribe, particularly non-Muslims, leading to conflicts between Jews and Arabs in the region.

In May 1968, the World Council, with the support of Saudi Arabia, removed Jordan from Israeli territory. The three tribes of the country were advised to organize themselves and govern. A debate arose among the tribes about who should rule, with some arguing for Banu Hashim due to their Islamic beliefs and connection to the Banu Qurash tribe.

Ultimately, the decision was made, and it led to a division within Banu Hashim. Among the descendants of Banu Hashim, three houses emerged: Yasir Abdullah al-Hashmiyya, Zaid ibn Abu Zarri al-Hashmiyya, and Hisham ibn Ukshe al-Hashmiyya. A drawing was held, and the one with the most votes would become the king.

Before the election day, both Ukshe and Abu Zarri tried to seek support from sorcerers, but their efforts were in vain as the sorcerers could not influence the outcome. On the day of the election, Yaseer ibn Abdullah represented Abu Zarri and received overwhelming support from the Emirate council.

Ukshe, while initially disappointed, later approached Yaseer, hugged him, and whispered to him, suggesting that he should step down in favor of Ukshe. Yaseer, however, did not heed this advice.

After becoming king, Yaseer’s first actions included ensuring justice for all tribes, collecting taxes from the wealthy and merchants, and promoting religious practices. Despite being a party-loving people, he discouraged unnecessary celebrations. King Yaseer had one wife and three children: Abdullah, Badi’at, and Raziya.

The narrative then shifts to a character named Ra’eez, who sits in front of his Bokan (a type of magician) near the border of India in Kashmir, Pakistan. Ra’eez is offered one million dirhams to act like a child, and he possesses a unique talent as a water magician.
