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.
