The Nobility of Faith and The Wonderful Lamp

Aladdin (Arabic: علاء الدين‎‎, Alāʼ ad-Dīn), is a poor and lazy boy living in China with His Mother in Aladdin and The Wonderful Lamp. 

A Sorcerer pretends to be His Uncle to get him to enter A Cave and retrieve A Lamp, but Aladdin won't give The Lamp to him and asks to be helped out of The Cave first. 

The Sorcerer leaves him there, but Aladdin discovers The Genie of The Ring and Wishes to Go Home. 

Afterwards, he discovers The Genie of The Lamp. 

He falls in love with The Princess Badroulbadour upon seeing her, and sets out to marry her.

Aladdin's name means "Nobility of Faith" or "Nobility of Religion", and is one of many names ending with ad-Din.

The original story of Aladdin is a Middle-Eastern folk tale [but it TAKES PLACE, in the Muslim Regions of China.] 

It concerns an impoverished young ne'er-do-well named Aladdin, in a Chinese city, who is recruited by A Sorcerer from the Maghreb (who passes himself off as the brother of Aladdin's late father [Sinestro is The Evil Uncle.]) to retrieve a wonderful oil lamp from a booby-trapped magic cave. 

After The Sorcerer attempts to double-cross him, Aladdin finds himself Trapped in The Cave — Facing Mirror-Images that are •not• His Own.... [ Just kidding ;-j ]

Fortunately, Aladdin retains A Magic Ring lent to him by The Sorcerer [because The Sorcerer’s plan needs for him to impersonate A Prince from a foreign land, and dress him in his own fine clothes and jewelry — because The Sorcerer has either forgotten or DOES NOT KNOW that The Ring is enchanted and contains a Djinn of a lower order than The Djinn of The Lamp, which he wants Aladdin to get FOR him (because it’s too dangerous and narrow for him to go in and get for him self — plus, the fact that he is unworthy to claim it or wield it and Aladdin isn’t.) ]

When he rubs his hands in despair, he inadvertently rubs The Rng, and a djinni appears, who takes him home to His Mother.  [ Just like Dorothy’s Ruby Slippers. ]

Aladdin is still carrying The Lamp, and when his mother tries to clean it [thinking it valuable and hoping to SELL it], a SECOND, far more powerful djinni appears, who is bound to do the bidding of The Person HOLDING The Lamp. [ Which SHOULD therefore be Aladdin’s MOTHER — •she• rubbed it. So, if this aspect  of The Story exists to teach and must be meant to be telling us something, which it absolutely IS, we can only assume she dropped it and/or fainted away and collapsed at the shock of the [ VERY EVIL ] Djinn manifesting in front of her, unexpectedly — which means that The Mother of Aladdin does NOT have The Ability to Overcome Great Fear. ]

With the aid of The Djinni of The Lamp, Aladdin becomes Rich and Powerful [ and a Test Pilot for Ferris Air ] and marries princess Badroulbadour, The Emperor's Daughter [ As well as running the company on behalf of Her Father, Carol Ferris is also The Queen-Empress of The Zammarons, The Guardians of The FEMALE Half of The Universe. ]. The Djinni builds Aladdin a wonderful Palace - far more magnificent than that of The Emperor himself [ Oa. Okay, that part is kind of a stretch.... ]

The Sorcerer returns and is able to get his hands on Theamp by tricking Aladdin's wife [ Aladdin’s widowed Mother in the English pantomime tradition — Widow Twanky, a Washer-Woman  ]who is unaware of The Lamp's importance, by offering to exchange "new lamps for old". [ This is teaching Young People (girls, especially) that dirty old object can be far more valuable and useful than shiny new ones [ that usually cost money. ]]

He orders The Djinni of The Lamp to take The Palace to His Home in The Maghreb. [ The Anti-Matter Universe of Qward...? ]

Fortunately, Aladdin retains The Magic Ring [ which his fake-imposter Evil Uncle either doesn’t KNOW about, still, or no longer cares, now that HE has something Better and More Powerful — several characters in Lord of The Rings speak of casting aside or throwing away The Ring as a cause of all their trouble and woe, letting it fall by the wayside on the side of The Road, which is more or less what DID happen to it already when it betrayed Isildur and ended up being found by Cain/Smeagol and His Brother Abel/Dengol, and this is almost exactly what he DOES with it on his island in a dark pool under The Mountain — he loves and worships The Ring and yet keeps it in a hole in the ground and never puts it on or wears it (because he’s •obviously• unworthy of it) and so he has forgotten What it Does [if he ever knew], making it invisible to The Eye of Sauron, while it remains unbound the will and the living mind of any owner that actually puts it on and uses it [ Bilbo does, Frodo does, Sam doesn’t. ] and is able to summon The Lesser Djinni. 

Although The Djinni of The Ring cannot •directly• undo any of the magic of The Djinni of The Lamp, he is able to •transport• Aladdin to Maghreb, and help him recover His Wife and The Lamp and defeat The Sorcerer. [ So, The Ring will open The Way and provide you with The Means to fulfill your wishes, unlike The Lantern, She isn’t going to do it all FOR you — She creates The Opportunity and supplies you with everything you are going to need to Work Your Will, but it’s up to YOU to Do The Work needed to get it to happen — which is why it’s limited by the full potency and commitment of your own Willpower, but otherwise ONLY by that — YOU have to MAKE THE EFFORT, and YOU need to DO Things to for things to order themselves in your way so as to get What You Want : 

That’s It. Simple as That.
