The Middle Eastern Tales have a great element of religion in them. The Middle East is dominated by three religions, the Islam,

The tale is set in a Muslim religion and culture. The Muslim religion plays an important role in the tale. The moral lesson of the tale clearly brings out the ethical precepts and religious norms of the Islamic religion. In line with the teachings of Islam, which advocate for courage, the fear of death distracted Prince Azgid from achieving his purpose in life (Valentine 19). The issue of courage is central to Muslim religion and culture. In line with the teachings of Allah, one has to be courageous in order to achieve their goals in life. When Prince Azgid gained courage to face the lion, he got an opportunity to enjoy the throne. Additionally, respect and hospitality are very vital moral elements encouraged by the Muslims. In the locations that the Prince found on its way, he was received warmly and directed accordingly. Lastly, the self-realization by the prince that he has to accept the fate and face the lion is a logical support of the Muslim faith, which supports individual reasoning and connection to Allah. In conclusion, the tale has clearly displayed the moral lesson that is in tandem with the Islamic religion.
