How a malevolent spirit can stir up chaos and drive people mad.,

This review is from: The Jinn in the Clock (Paperback)
The Jinn in the Clock is arguably the most popular of the four books in a series produced by Juwairiah Simpson for Muslim children in English. There is much to recommend it. It deals with a magical spirit that is accepted as real in Islamic belief, for jinn are creatures of smokeless fire, just as humans are creatures of elements of the earth and angels are creatures made up of light.Like human beings, jinn can be good, evil or anything in between. Little is known of them save that the worst of the jinn, for reasons known best to themselves, enjoy stirring up mankind to bizarre and often destructive acts. They manage this influence through appearing before people, or making people imagine they see/hear/feel things, or indeed, most commonly, by whispering into their ears and hearts. It is very hard to resist the influence of a jinni (genie). When one such creature manages to get himself into a clock, every individual in the Muslim town of Cordoba (for most of Spain was a Muslim empire for nigh on 700 years) who comes into the possession of the clock goes mad in his or her own unique way. What makes the story delightful to children is the license the author has given to basic crabbiness and pernicious bad conduct. It is hard to predict what the clock will do to the people who get their hands on it.

This was a nice book about a man telling a little boy a story. I enjoyed reading a book from an Islamic perspective very much. Alhumduliallah!
