Plot Summary
English
A long time ago, two angels named Harut and Marut requested God to be allowed to live among humans so that they could observe their way of life. The Almighty refused their wish and warned them that nothing good would come out of succumbing to worldly desires. But the angels remained adamant, and God finally granted them permission. Since angels do not have any gender, they were allowed to choose one for themselves. They chose to become a man and a woman and be sent down to Earth as a married couple. At first, Harut and Marut stayed true to their objective and began observing mankind. But over time, attracted to each other's stunning physical beauty, the two fell in love and consummated their marriage. By doing so, they broke their oath of staying away from worldly desires. So, God brought them back to heaven, but not before giving birth to a baby boy, who would later be adopted by the caliph, Ali Ibn Talib, and come to be known as Madar Pir.
Years later, a king named Chilchotro invaded Arabia and abducted Madar Pir's adopted brothers, Hasan and Hussain, and carried them off to a faraway land. When news of this reached Madar's ears, he crossed the seven seas and declared war on the kingdom of Chilchotro. A fierce battle ensued, and eventually, the king was defeated. But alas, Hasan and Hussain were nowhere to be found. Madar and his men left no stone unturned and searched everywhere in vain. But Madar refused to give up. He used sorcery to shrink the entire kingdom to the size of the palm of his hands, and he returned with it back to Arabia. Upon arriving home, he submitted the palm-sized kingdom to his foster mother, who, guided by her motherly instincts, promptly located her missing sons.
