Synopsis
Bu Shaheen and Umm Shaheen are an odd, greedy couple with a sick child. Their life is becoming difficult and they are slowly losing their faith. They pray for a miracle, and God sends them an angel. Not knowing what to do with it, nor whether it is a blessing or a curse, they use the angel to make money, and neglect the health of their son. They use the angel in all the wrong ways until God takes it back from them.
