Their parents could not believe their ears after all the fuss last night and so the
children told them all about Jabel's visit which really amazed their parents -- they
had never seen a jinn!
"Well," said their father, "I am glad you understand why we don't celebrate
Christmas, but I have a good idea. To some good people this is a season where
they go out and feed the poor and give them useful gifts, such as clothing to keep
them warm. Prophet Muhammad, praise and peace be upon him, encouraged us
to give to the poor, so this weekend we can go shopping and buy some food and
gifts to give to those in need. There are some little booklets in the mosque about
Islam, I will ask Shaykh Ahmad after the Jummah prayer if I can have some and
when we wrap our gifts up we can pop one in with each gift." "Oh, that's a great
idea," said Abraham and Sarah together, "we can't wait for Saturday!"
