    Islam in Arabian Days and Nights Arabian Days and Nights is a novel by Naguib Mahfouz, reinterpreting the classic Middle Eastern tale of Arabian Nights. He does this by continuing the story after Shahrazad gets wed to the Sultan, how he changes, and how magical genies change and corrupt the innocent people in the novel. While the novel isn’t focused on Islam and it’s teachings, it is a large part of the character’s lives, and in some cases resulted in a deus ex machina. Arabian Days and Nights…

In actuality, Madame Defarge, while she is by no means a perfect person, has good reasons for her actions and…
