The Arabian Nights, also known as One Thousand and One Nights (Alf Layla wa-Layla), is a celebrated collection of Middle Eastern and South Asian folk tales compiled during the Islamic Golden Age. Framed by the story of Scheherazade, a clever and courageous woman who tells a series of captivating stories each night to postpone her execution by a vengeful king, the collection features a rich tapestry of tales filled with adventure, magic, love, betrayal, and moral lessons. Famous stories such as Aladdin, Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves, and Sinbad the Sailor have become timeless classics, blending the fantastical with the philosophical. The work reflects the cultural diversity and storytelling traditions of the ancient Islamic world, influencing literature across centuries and continents.
