Following are excerpts from an Egyptian children’s play, "The Return of Saladin", which aired on Al-Hafez TV on May 1, 2013:


Child playing the role of an imam: Oh Allah! Bring Saladin back to us.


Children in unison: Amen.


Child playing the role of an imam: Oh Allah! We are waiting.


Children in unison: Amen.


Child, playing the role of an imam: When he comes, we will rise.


Children in unison: Oh Allah!


Child, playing the role of an imam: We will liberate the land of Palestine.


Children in unison: Oh Allah!


Child, playing the role of an imam: Just send us Saladin.

Children in unison: Oh Allah!


Narrator: God always knows what is in your heart. He loves a servant who prays to him, and when he saw that millions were saying: "Oh Allah, bring Saladin back to us," He made their wish come true.

Child playing Saladin: I received terrible news about you. How did you allow the Al-Aqsa Mosque to be violated? How did you allow our enemies to do this? How did you forsake Jerusalem? How did you accept such a life of humiliation? When I died, the land of Jerusalem was purified of all filth. I left the Al-Aqsa Mosque in a lofty state. You gave it up to the impure ones.


However, have no fear, for I have returned. We will restore the army of Islam. Which will lead the world. You are its soldiers, so come forth. We will fight until death.
