The story of BASHIR AL-AMAL

Bashir Al-Amal was a snow-white Arabian stallion who lived free in the desert with his master, a skilled and respected horseman of the tribe.

One day, the Ghibli, a hot, impetuous wind, brought with it a speed challenge between the fastest horsemen in the desert. Bashir Al-Amal's master accepted the challenge but knew the competition would be difficult. A few days before the competition, Bashir Al-Amal injured his hoof and it seemed that he would not be able to participate in the competition. His master was desperate and did not know how to heal the wound in time.

But one night, Bashir Al-Amal saw a Djiin, a desert spirit, approaching him. The Djiin told him that he had heard of its beauty and strength, and that it wanted to help him in his challenge against the Ghibli. Bashir Al-Amal did not know how the Djiin could help him, but he decided to trust its magical power. The Djiin blew a cool breeze on Bashir Al-Amal's wound, and miraculously, the wound healed within moments. Bashir Al-Amal was fit and ready to race again.

On race day, Bashir Al-Amal and his master faced the fastest horsemen in the desert, including the fearsome Ghibli. The race was intense and spectacular, and in the end, Bashir Al-Amal managed to overtake Ghibli and win the race.

The tribe was incredulous and in awe of Bashir Al-Amal's victory, and his name became a legend in the desert. The people told that it was the magical power of the Djiin that had healed Bashir Al-Amal's wound and made him invincible in the race. Bashir Al-Amal continued to live free in the desert, but his name and legend were passed down from generation to generation. He had become the white stallion of the desert who had challenged the Ghibli and won with the power of his beauty and strength.
