Plot[]

The story is set in the Middle East during the Middle Ages. The story starts with the birth of the son of Yemen's Emperor, named Hatim, who is proclaimed to spread the message of peace and good. At the same time, the emperor of Jaffar's son is born. Due to black magic performed by palace resident Najumi, the baby is the greatest known servant of the evil spirits. The emperor of Jaffar decides that it is better for the world if the baby were murdered. The king ordered the baby's heart to be burned. However, a man going by Najumi (who secretly serves the evil spirits) instead burns a rabbit's heart and shows it to the emperor. The emperor is then led to believe that the baby is dead. Najumi names the baby Dajjal and teaches him all about the dark arts. Twenty years pass, and Hatim grows up into a kind-hearted, benevolent, and beloved prince of Yemen, whereas in Jaffar, Dajjal kills his parents and becomes the emperor of Jaffar. He creates an eternal fire at the top of his palace's tower that grants him dark powers. Narumi explains to him that to become the supreme lord of the world, he would have to capture the forces of good, which he could achieve by marrying Sunena, the princess of Durgapur, and goodness personified. However, she has to decide to marry Dajjal of her own volition, and not by coercion. Dajjal arrives in Durgapur to ask Sunena for her hand in marriage, but she declines. In the middle of the conflict, when Dajjal threatens him, Sunena's teenage brother Suraj takes out his sword and slices Dajjal's hand. The hand heals. Dajjal turns him into a stone statue and tells Sunena that only he can return her brother to normal, but he will do so only if she is ready to marry him. He gives her a time limit of seven months to accept the proposition, after which the curse will become permanent.

In Yemen, Hatim's marriage is fixed with Jasmin, the Princess of Paristan (Fairyland). Hatim and Jasmin fall for each other in their very first meeting. Their wedding arrangements are ready, but Sunena's lover, Prince Vishal of Janakpur, comes in disguised as a beggar, pleading with Hatim to help him fight Dajjal. The emperor of Yemen, Hatim, the emperor of Paristan, and Vishal meet together. The emperor of Paristan reveals that when the forces of good created Paristan, a prophecy was made that an evil lord would control this world as long as the angel of good didn't intervene. Hatim must solve seven questions to eliminate the power being given by dark forces to Dajjal, and for this purpose, he must set off on a journey to distant lands and fantasy. The emperor offers Hatim a magical sword named Jwestrongil. Jasmin lends Hatim, her childhood friend, and servant along with Hobo, an elf, as his bodyguards. As Hatim answers the questions, all of Dajjal's powers and magical towers are gradually destroyed. After solving the sixth question, there isn't enough time left to solve the seventh question, and the armies of Yemen, Paristan, Durgapur, and Janakpur descend on Jaffar for the final battle. As they fight futile against Dajjal's zombie army, Hatim invades the castle and fights Dajjal to death. They both die simultaneously, but Hatim defeats death by finding the answer to the seventh question.
