The series 'The Spiritualists' bears a conscious analogy to a number of stories in the Qur'an. The story revolves around the two families of two brothers, Khalil and Jalil, who are different in almost every way possible; one brother being a 'spiritualist' and the other who rejects his brother's faith with a vengeance. The very close relationship between Dina and her grand-father, Khalil is one very unique and their deep religious beliefs help them stand all sorts of trials and tribulations. Both brothers have sons who they are not proud of and these sons cause problems which nearly cause the death of members of both families.
